Notorious B.O.A.L.T.

Abovethelaw.com just gave our school quite possibly the best props that an educational facility can receive. Whoever did this:

Thank you. Go Boalt!

Funny thing is, I can use this for bar study this coming spring. Woo!

The lines about diversity and federal question subject matter jurisdiction are gold.

This is absolute genius and makes me proud to be a Boaltie.

Yes, 10:32. This is what Boalt is supposed to be. This is the Boalt that will get my alumni dollars.

DE? Can you hear me, DE? Give these 1L's a Boalt Hall law grant.

"ODB to DBO, we know the tricks,
failed to state a claim and that's a 12(b)(6)"

MASTERFUL shout-out for the 1Ls taking Civ Pro.

I can't believe Nuts & Boalts hasn't issued a find the rapper witch hunt.

I'm also confused about the Notorious B.O.A.L.T. pulling in some Tupac. Very conflicted.

I've got a source that tells me who made it, but I don't know if it's kosher to post their names on here. In any event, they need to be commended. This is truly indicative of the educational prowess of Boalt.

It's never kosher to post the names of other Boalties.

Correct, please don't out them unless they wish be to identified.

They may not appreciate it when a firm brings a laptop into their callback interview and asks them about fuckin' up some bitchez with permissive joinder.

True spirit of Boalt. Have the authors post the lyrics somewhere.

Why is bar review at The Graduate? Why so far away? Why not just have it in the City at that point?

i'm about to betray my ignorance, probably about both civ pro and rap, but i don't understand that line: "my four ps make sure your kids don't grow."

what the hell does that mean?

4 Ps = grades

The line is a reference to this (see 4:30 mark)

it's from a tupac song, hit 'em up (real line is "my .44 make sure all your kids don't grow"--i am goin to assume you know what a .44 is)

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

Announcement: Thalassa tonight for those of you not inclined to go all the way to The Graduate.

The Graduate is one of the best bars in Berkeley. If you can't bother to make the trip over there (oh noes! i have to take the 51!), you're not worthy of its greatness.

I concur.

But. The Grad *on a Bar Review night* is, arguably, one of the most frustrating places to get a beer in Berkeley.

BTW, does anyone call these poor places to let them know that their one bartender is going to be absolutely slammed on some random Thursday?

Yeah, I'm about to take the pass on The Graduate, but only because it's way too small to host a bar review. We need to limit ourselves to bars we can fit in...

What's the name of the original B.I.G. song that this parody is based on?

10/10/2008 9:30 PM  
Blogger Armen Adzhemyan said...

As the comic book store guy says, "Freakin kids." It's a Dre song, Still D.R.E..

Bonus points if you can name the main instrument used.
