Legal State of Mind
David Foster (3L)
Now I’m done that open memo, yeah I passed Foundations,
Killed it with my statutory interpretations
I’m the new McLachlin, and since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, judges love me everywhere
I used to be an Arts student, all of my electives
History, Philosophy, could only work at that McDonalds’
Took the LSAT, got a 158 score
Now I’m in Devaney’s every day having one more
Cruisin’ down Whyte Ave, Friday and Saturday
Off to the Pint for a party with the LSA
Me, I’m in the library, SNAILs can’t even get to me
Tell by my attitude that I’m most definitely in…
Chorus:
Law school, where pizza is free and dreams can come true
There’s no one you can’t sue
These suits will make you feel brand new
These cases will inspire you
Let’s hear it for law school, law school, law school…
Catch me in a suit with my files at the Law Courts
SLS appearances are why I never come to Torts
You should know I bleed Crim, but I ain’t a criminal
All of the prosecutors know who I am though
Don’t forget I’m also on ALR and Law Show
No time for readings, but I got a CAN though…
Now I found my articles, you know I got it made
Partner in ten years, or if I don’t make the grade
Hang up my shingle, I’ll be my own boss
I’m Harvey Specter, you can be Mike Ross
(Chorus)
Hours are long but as long as you can bill
You’re just a billing machine with time to kill
Started in commercial, IP, patent law
Now I do divorce law, real estate, tax law
City of sin, make a living from crim
Good lawyers gone bad, the city’s filled with them
Came here for school, graduated to the high life
Judges, politicians addicted to the limelight
Ten-year-old Scotch got me feeling like a champion
A lawyer never sleeps, but I gotta get a nap in…
(Chorus)
One hand in the air for the big firms
Hiring 1Ls once they pass their midterms
No career in the world that could compare
Put your CANs in the air everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah…
