Which T14 Law School Officially Has The Best Sense Of Humor?

Instead of stressing out about on-campus interviews, folks at one law school are upping their prank game.

So, your future rests on a series of 20-minute interviews that take place over a few short days. Sounds stressful, right? An ill-timed off-color joke or even a bout of bad gas and your carefully planned career can go up in smoke.

Instead of stressing out, folks at one law school are upping their prank game — law students at Boalt Hall aka Berkeley Law officially have the best sense of humor.

OCI hopefuls got an email from Alfred J. Prufrock, Esq., B.F., D. D., LL.D, Ph.D, Nuc.E., at partner at Cherrington, Pussyfoot, Baker & Swallow LLP, letting them know about the unusual firm:

CPBS is a boutique law firm and has been called by Chambers USA “The Rolls-Royce of law firms” and a “great masterpiece that is exclusively matured in Sherry oak casks for a minimum of 25 years.” The American Lawyer characterized our practice as “Satisfyingly complex, characterized by its rich color, aroma and flavor, with hints of dried fruits, smoke, and chocolate orange.” We’re not like the other firms at OCI. We’re peatier.

Interested students were encouraged to stop by their hospitality suite, and check out the website www.pussyfootlaw.com. The website, emblazoned with the motto “We offer our clients dubious legal advice,” does not disappoint. There’s some rickrolling, stoner jokes, appropriate YouTube links, and the copy is first rate.

Let’s meet the attorneys that comprise CPBS:

Leland Joseph Adama, Esq. 

Known as “Lee” to his friends, colleagues, and clients, Mr. Adama graduated top of his class at the colonial military academy. Prior to his infamous (and successful) defense of former Caprican president Gaius Baltar in The People v. Baltar, Mr. Adama had an illustrious career as a pilot, president, and “nice guy” who wasn’t really that nice. Mr. Adama is ready and willing to defend any and all clients—be they human, cylon, or someone confusingly in-between. Contact Mr. Adama here.

“‘Nice guy’ who wasn’t really that nice” is my new favorite insult.

Elle Woods, Esq.

Easy, breezy, beautiful—Ms. Woods executes her client’s legal goals with the confidence of a student who graduated at the top of her class. When asked of her multiple accomplishments—including the dubious honor of representing a client in the courtroom after completing only one year of law school and not yet passing the bar—Ms. Woods can only respond, “What? Like it’s hard?” Indeed, Ms. Woods. Indeed. Contact Ms. Woods here.

Elle Woods is just like Maybelline!

The Abyss, Esq.

The Void. The Great Unknown. The Prickling Terror at the Edge of Your Consciousness, Waiting to Be Acknowledged and Then Immediately Denied and Submerged. After graduating from a joint Ph.D/J.D. program at the beginning of the known universe, Dr. Abyss began its career at our illustrious and trembling firm. All of our clients are Dr. Abyss’s clients. You are Dr. Abyss’s client, whether you know it or not. You do not need to contact Dr. Abyss. Dr. Abyss has already contacted you.

Slow clap. This is just A+ work all the way around.

The website also takes time to notch a W for the Bay Area law school rivalry:

On Campus Interviewing

Berkeley Law – August 5, 2015: Don’t forget to visit our hospitality suite in Hotel Shattuck Plaza.

Stanford Law – August 7, 2015: Actually nah.

And what of that hospitality suite at Hotel Shattuck Plaza? We’ve got pics and it looks like a great time.

It looks like vodka, condoms and water guns were provided. That is some quality swag.

And they know they’ve won the swag game.

A better look at the full suite.

Our tipster indicates this master work was brought to Berkeley by the “Gun Club” — whoever you are, we salute you.
