Our annual competition is over, but before we officially unveil our new champion, let’s give some props to the videos that didn’t quite make the list of Finalists, but that nonetheless are worth your while to watch.
The editors may have had some strong disagreements this year, but we all agreed that these offerings were a lot of fun. There wasn’t enough momentum to get the sequel to Justice Roboto in there, but I tried.
1. Washington & Lee — Freedom
Learning After Law School

I actually preferred this entry over the W&L “Dirty Prof” submission in the Finals. There’s a good deal of lyrical variety — the lack of which is my primary pet peeve with Law Revue songs — a bunch of different, yet related plotlines to keep the thing from dragging on, and a creepy picture. The Above the Law shout-out was also subtle and not desperate. And there’s an actual dick joke which is always appreciated.
2. Southern Methodist University School of Law — All About That Grade
AI Is Reshaping Legal Practice—But Tools Aren’t The Real Differentiator.
Explore the mindset, cultural shifts, and training strategies that define the AI‑savvy lawyer, revealing why human judgment, standardized competence, and integrated learning—not technology alone—will shape the future of the profession.
A second straight year in the Honorable Mentions for SMU. All of us were impressed with the high production values on display in this video. The visual variety was enough to make the fact that the chorus is repeated without change over and over seem not so bad.
3. Georgetown — Shake Off Personal Jurisdiction
Making jokes about how much you hate homework is easy. Making jokes about an entire line of Supreme Court precedent dating back decades is hard. This one deserves all the acclaim in the world for opting for the higher degree of difficulty and managing to actually teach Civil Procedure through song.
4. UVA — Clerkships
Spot on parody of every Cialis commercial we’re forced to watch during NFL season, sans the awkward Mike Ditka testimonial. “Just pay separate living expenses.” Nice.
5. Boston College — Seasons of Law
A Broadway tune from my lifetime! I’m not much for Broadway, but I thought this one had some solid debt jokes and the woman who took on the high note absolutely nailed it. While the rest of the editors talked about “singing” whenever anyone could hold a tune, this was an actual display of skill.
