Dance Dance Revolution

dancerevolution.jpgThis week, Mr. Lat over at Above the Law has been posting YouTube clips of various law revue productions from around the nation as proof of a law school’s quality (see, here, here, here, and here). He’s uncovered plenty of evidence suggesting that law students are, well, mostly kind of lame – a few years of law school apparently dulls one’s sense of humor, and what’s funny in the world of law school doesn’t always jibe with what’s funny in reality.

At any rate, I did feel obligated, since I’m posting this from about three blocks away from the Cornell Law campus, to enter the amusing Cornell Law “Schwabbies” from Cornell’s 2007 Caberet as additional evidence. At the very least, it proves that Cornell should be ranked well ahead of the University of Virginia, members of which tried to jam “Lexis-Nexis” into a rap number. I am particularly fond, in this clip, of the dance-dance revolution segment at the 26-second mark. The two participants, if they choose not to continue their legal careers, look to have quite a future in dance.
