The detachable hood is a nice touch.

And I'd forgotten that qualification on 1367. Well done.

Children...

Great.

great editing again...."became a the Court Clerk..."

ATL is sucking huge balls. Stop letting the kiddies post.

Elie will be the only one reading this site soon.

Goodbye, Above the Law. You were once a decent time-killer.

*furiously takes notes from video for my civ pro final, gotta keep them A's coming*

-nervous T-10 1L

Because I disagree with everything Elie says/does/stands for, I must state that this is an EXCELLENT way to pass Civ Pro.

Also, the line about the chick sucking on his jurisdictional reach is brilliant.

is it me or his rapping ok but his dancing is really really awful?

1-motherfucking-80. WestSIIIIIIDDDEE!!!

That was awesome!

I enjoyed that.

Something like this would never happen at CLS.

That's not really a good thing.

In my high school, guys used to rap about civil procedure all the time. It was no big deal.

Also, the rapping is TTT, but the effort is top notch.

let me guess, Asian guy beneath that hood?

No Asians were hurt (or used) in the making of this video...

berkeley is a ttt

Not as bad as the Michigan emails, but annoying.

Quite awesome.

Not sure if this is the greatest thing ever or the sign of the apocalypse...

Although I will confess that I only abandoned my own parody "Numba 1 Gunna" a few months ago.

Miami is spelled
M
I
A
M
I

HTH

nope, not an asian.

I don't understand how everyone loves this type of stuff. This makes me cringe.

David Silver graduated from C.U. and got into Boalt?? Wow, those lessons from Dylan must have been stellar.

This happens more often than you might think at California law schools:

From UCLA in 2007: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QwyEoFyV3s

It's not as bad as the losers from Hofstra who made a star wars bar review parody...although, "parody" implies humor.

MISERABLE headline. Great vid.

I wish my school had a pass/fail grading system....

and white guys rapping about the FRCP....

That was great. I thought the dancing was great- wish I could dance like that.

I love this. I can't believe that someone who presumably scored better than a 168 on the LSAT can C-Walk like that. West West yall.

Funniest thing I've seen in months.

"Stole 75k from a Texas pocket,
Now I'm back home in Cali on the federal docket."

Brilliant

D BAG CENTRAL

Best thing I've ever seen on ATL. I bet this confused the shit out of the nerds that troll this site.

PS. 160Ks a joke. Enjoy bitchdom.

Excellent. And loving how ATL is keeping the West Coast company with CA-related posts in the evening!

Ok - The douche and his friends who made this needs to stop posting about how awesome their video is.

Agreed with 14. The rapping is awesome. The dancing is almost awkward.

This is seriously helping me to learn CivPro. Now if he could rap about Bell Atlantic v. Twombly and explain it to me, I would be set for class. 180 for the OP.

This is so dumb...and yet made me laugh heartily. Most law students lack perspective and truly think that studies should be 100% all encompassing. If they don't burn out before graduation, they become annoying young associates who think biglaw should be about arguing constitutional law cases. This rapper found an outlet to avoid that burn out, and I applaud it. And not just cause I too dug gangsta rap in my younger days.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Too much.

that c-walk across the courtroom/lecture hall desks was tiiiiiiiight

Man, this guy must be asian. Look at his skinny, girly arms.

weak style biting on the original boalt rapper, EZ Flow Toe.

http://boalt.org/ezflow

None of these guys are ever going to have sex...

Good find. This makes up for about four bad posts in the past.

This video's pretty solid, but it's not as good as the Star Wars video my friend made.

Utterly brilliant

Solid! The Hit-Em-Up-esque finishing monologue is a great touch.

No one can explain Twombly? :(

it's not so much that the dancing is great, but seeing it happen in booth auditorium and in the basement - complete with the unfinished walls from construction - just touches my boaltie heart.

Great headline. Ridiculously great video.

these guys are obviously not morons. this shit is witty, and those dance moves rock my world. 48-are you kidding me? who gets laid at your school, the gunners or the badasses?

This. Was. Awesome.

that was amazing... very well done. whoever did it, props.

"so if you come to the party, you better bring some bitches. 19's required, but 20 is permissive." haha, it's so well done.

That video was great, well done.
Mystal's post was terrible.

46 - and so what if he is Asian (which I think someone commented that he is not) because he still has more moves than you, more flow and style than you, and will probably have more amjurs than you. so STFU.

haha omg best video ever

I hate anyone who doesn't like this. This is proof that the beat is all that matters to a good rap song.

You guys are losers. This is law school funny. Meaning not funny at all. I guarantee this guy refers to himself as "Tortfeasor" because that's law school hilarity.

That was amazing!

Man, this makes me glad I go to Boalt

64: Too bad your lame attempt to refute awesomeness contained even more lamer lawschool humor. Nerd.

64 is a tool

skillz

Props for the lyrics, especially for the Hit 'em up-esque lines at the end:

“My 4 Ps make sure your kids won’t grow”

“laugh ‘cause our crew’s got Ps on our muthafuckin’ degrees”

I'm a Boaltie and I am freaking proud of this video. Regardless of whether you find the rap or dancing tasteful, it's better than pulling late nights in the law library trying to pad up your class ranking. If you appreciate that, come to Boalt. If you don't, we prefer you to join the self-selecting bunch of gunners at CLS and HLS.

so much love to the boaltie that made this. dude not only knows civ pro but can rhyme it. i love our school.

This deserves some better recording quality - did they lay down this track in a bathroom? Or at least a transcript of the lyrics would be vastly helpful.

You know it, you tell the story

75: you tell the whole damn world

this is BEAR TERRITORY

this is BEAR TERRITORY

the rhymes are lyrics are actually pretty tight

47 - EZ Flow Toe rulez!!

LOL... as a former Boaltie I love it. Honestly has zero value as a studying aid but shows some crazy creativity and some nice dance moves. Probably from a 1L who is fed up with school like I was as a 1L... and I have to say I would bet 5:1 its a filipino under that faux-fur hood. just saying, not hatin'...

Awesome.

stealing 75k won't make it federal; you have to EXCEED 75k.

Loved it. Sometimes I'm amazed at how I can't remember stupid rules for my exams but I can still recall every word of some pharcyde song from middle school.
Props to this kid; ignore the haters. This will actually help me remember the rules.

9:30am and nothing new here?

Okay then, here's some news re: Heller: http://orrick.com/news_events/releases.asp?action=article&articleID=7608

Damn Elie, you've got to wake up earlier.

"[S]elf-styled Boalt student"? What does that mean?

The consistency with which Elie fucks up every post is ASTOUNDING.

Awesome vid and typical of the students/atmosphere at Boalt. I pity anyone who went to law school elsewhere.

Be nice to Elie - he likes to sleep in when he eats more than three spray cans of whipped cream the night before.

It is almost 10 a.m. and NOTHING new has been posted today...

Law school humor sucks

Rap sucks

Law school humor plus rap = epic suckage

-everyone who thinks this is funny should be sterilized.

He definitely has an "I own Blackacre" shirt.

That said, this is still pretty funny. Sure its only funny to lawyers/law students but obviously that was his audience. In that regard he nailed it.

In the real world, everyone on ATL right now (myself included) is pretty much a loser.

So rappers wanna be ballers and ballers wanna be gangsta and gangstas wanna be rappers, but who do all these self-hating lawyers wanna be?

While anyone who thinks that this is useful for studying is obviously attending a Fourth Tier part-time, it's still a hilarious video. I'm generally annoyed with law school "humor," which mostly consists of, yeah, "I own Blackacre" T-shirts, but this was actually quite clever. Not in the "oh, I'm in law school, so I can make any law school reference I want and find it to be a hilarious inside joke" kind of way, but in sharp lyrics and great delivery.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU POSTED ANYTHING TODAY?!

I hope it's because you're proofreading before posting.

This is hilarious, and actually probably took a lot of thought. And I thought the headline was funny too (way to go HNIC!). And yes, I am Elie's mom.

I wonder if there is a problem? Kash hasn't even posted the morning docket...

wtf is a c-walk?

so glad I didn't bother applying to any schools on the west coast

awesome

NOTE TO ALL THE HATERS:

The fact that you even went to law school means you are a tool. Yes, we are all tools. But to what degree?

1. You went to law school;
2. You did well (not anything to brag about to anyone but another law student/lawyer;
3. You frequent a law blog;
4. You criticize law-related humor.

Typical self-loathing law student/lawyer douche. This video is hilarious. Best law humor I can remember.

Go Bears!

Absolutely brilliant. Made me chuckle. Someone needs to ask whoever this guy is to post the lyrics.

My biglaw life sucks and I haven't had a happy day in at least a month, but this made me laugh so hard I cried. Give me another post half this good and I'll finally have one of those oh-so-elusive happy days.

Well said.

Guys from my law school used to make law-related jokes all the time. It was no big deal.

For example, during first year, we started saying "What Would Cardozo Do?" Our class t-shirt almost had that phrase (lost by 2 votes).

We all admit, we were tools for the joke. But our law-school friends laughed. Then, they admitted that they were tools, too. It was no big deal.

The video was great.

Another self-loathing lawyer douche.

Hilarious. Go Bears!

Someone may have already noted this about Elie's grading-related comment, but Boalt and Yale do not really have similar systems. While it is impossible to distinguish the median student from the bottom of the class based on grades at either school, Boalt follows a strict curve that allows employers (i.e., federal judges) to see who is at the top of the class; Yale has no curve and so mushes the top in with everyone else.

There are some real gems in there if you listen closely - I do wish the audio was a little better. Awesome nonetheless.

That headline, however, was funny 5 years ago. Better luck next time.

"The need at the pleading stage for allegations plausibly suggesting (not merely consistent with) agreement reflects the threshold requirement of Rule 8(a)(2) that the 'plain statement' possess enough heft to 'sho[w] that the pleader is entitled to relief.'”

No one flows like DJ Souter.

"HofstraMagna," you're a fucking retard for (a) being friends with the tools who made the Hofstra Star Wars video (they were the hated C-earning gunners of the school) and (b) thinking that video was anything but fodder for making fun of those tools.

needlessly harsh, 113. someone must have got in your a$s this morning. if you're still feeling the burn, i find that drinking helps.

Its well done, but its just not funny.

Its well done, but its just not funny.

Fuck Rule 2, this ain’t the FRCP
There’s only one form of action, but it don’t apply to me
When you step on my court, and you hear that gavel sound
Just be ready for one speedy, inexpensive beat down

Your girl is an 8a, short and plain
But that bitch is a ten when she’s giving me brain
She bolted out of ASP, demanding relief
But first I made her taste my jurisdictional reach

Duress, fraud, payment, negligence
First time up, bring that affirmative defense
‘Cause that shit’s disfavored, use it or lose it
I seen 8c and I’ll be laughin’ when I’m cruising

Drop top, glock cocked, rolling down Bancroft
Counter claim, no aim, couldn’t get a shot off
From ODB to DBO, we know the tricks
Failed to state a claim and that’s a 12b6, bitch

Memo group meeting, I called you by the wrong name
Thursday night, bar review, hit you with amended claim
Spit some HH game but you weren’t 15-seeing it
Cut me some slack bitch, that shit relations back bitch

Judge 11 said you tried to sanction my game
But 11 also gave me 21 to explain
And you should know, lawyer, that the laws be pliant
And now I got three weeks to pin it on my client

While we smoking red-hots on that San Pablo green
The last joint you claimed was under rule 18
And if you come to the party, you better bring some bitches
19’s required, but 20 is permissive

Had a 24 intervention for your main girl
Caught her moaning Jack Bauer while I busted in her curls
Trick owed me 14 for some stems and seeds
Yeah, she claimed that shit on you, but she forgot to implead

I shot 31 cops on federal grounds
Now the U.S. government be hunting me down
Stole 75k form a Texan’s pocket
Now I’m back home in Cali on the federal docket

And if they got 31, then 67 give ‘em
The right to add a claim from the facts that arisen
But if they got 32, they can’t add that claim
‘Less diversity’s preserved or it’s a federal game

But the Cut I was driving ‘fore I robbed Mr. Bush
Was lifted right here in the home of Kush
So when that owner tried to join my federal action
The judge sent him looking for some state satisfaction

Now I’m seeing 20/20, so forget that midterm
I’ll see you in 2020 when I’m partner at your big firm
Or still Thuggin’, J.D. ain’t but a vehicle
For making funky rhymes or getting civil procedural

113,

I get angry every time some one brings up that guy who beg, borrowed and stole to get onto law review...whereas the rest of us actually earned it. He got kicked off, but still has it on his resume.

-112

can they do something like this for the entire internal revenue code and regulations?

gotta admit, that was very clever and entertaining. the best line was definitely "And if you come to the party, you better bring some bitches
19’s required, but 20 is permissive" and the hit-em up ending was classic.
only a law student with any appreciation for hip-hop would have gotten this rap. damn i shoulda went to law school on the west coast . . .

The Boalt rapper's sleeves are short....which means he can't even get LONG ARM JURISDICTION on Sid Civ Pro @ UVA!!!!

TICK....TICK....TICK....BOOM!
CIV PRO!

Go 1L Boalties!

it's pretty hilarious to watch someone C-walk around Boalt... nice work.

i thought the dancing was the best part.

loved this video.

great idea, perfect execution. well played.

gettin civil procedural

ROFLMAO. You deuches that think this is not funny are just lame. An Dre's 2001 album, although a wonderful album, is not classic gangsta rap.

to the MC's credit, he also samples from tupac's biggie diss: "Hit em up"

what's the original B.I.G. song that this parody is based on? Can't think of the name of it...

Well the background music is "Still DRE" i think but the end at least is a parody of Tupac's "Hit 'Em Up".

it's a joke guys! don't you have humour?
no wonder why you ended up rejected from boalt...
get a life!

wow this kid's a tool. and he can't flow for shit. he can dance, though.

oh god i was praying he'd fall off the desks and blood would spurt out of that stupid fucking hood. god this was lame.

question of the century: how many boalt hall grads get fired from public law after failing drug tests? I imagine the number is pretty high.

They have used Rap to convey their message. But still need to learn perfect Rap.

133 - you're a retard
