What Law School is Like (in Less than 3 Minutes!)

Like me, Owen Jarvis is a musician who went to law school. Unlike me, he’s made a fantastic (and fantastically viral) video documenting the experience. 

Jarvis wrote this song during exams for his first year of law school. The lyrics are pretty typical bitching and moaning, but with the sketches (also by Jarvis) and some clever turns, he’s perfectly distilled the cliché angst of your average 1L.

I have to say that I enjoyed law school immensely, and I think the work load is usually overstated (e.g., I had to walk 9 miles in the snow, and write 100 footnotes in a dark, frozen room). But this video had me laughing.
