"Bust a Moot" (ft. Elena Kagan and Eliot Spitzer")
(NOTE: Disclaimer regarding this blog's non-affiliation with Harvard is here.)
To mark tonight's start of First-Year Ames Moot Court at Harvard Law School, and to offer students a few tips for performing well in Ames, here is a video (embedded below) featuring Elena Kagan and Eliot Spitzer, from the Drama Society's March, 2009, Parody production.
It's to the tune of the 1990 hip hop hit "Bust a Move" by Marvin Young, popularly known as "Young M.C." (YouTube video here).
The parody lyrics are below. Enjoy!

"Die In Harvard Square" (ft. William Desmond & Victoria White-Mason)
(NOTE: Disclaimer regarding this blog's non-affiliation with Harvard is here.)
It's been ten years since the Harvard Law School Drama Society last mustered the courage to mock a black member of the Law School community in its annual Parody production.
In 2005, in our live production we included a reference to Professor Charles Ogletree being "stupid" for having hired incompetent ghostwriters who plagiarized from a Yale law professor. Later we elaborated on the point in a blog post.
Since then, no black on campus has done anything to draw as much negative attention, and invite ridicule, as Ogletree did with his use of inept ghostwriters. Until now. Recently two black law students made themselves famous through their actions in support of the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
