Law Schools can be stifling, stultifying and discouraging at times. People look down upon the ‘other’; sometimes very disparagingly. A mooter thinks mooting is ‘the’ thing. The cool guy thinks that ‘mooting’ is for nerds etc etc.

I believe we should respect choices. Here is a simple piece on that belief.

The many DREAMS In A Law School: Nothing BIG Or SMALL About It

In law school many people live,

People of many colours.

Colourful dreams they do have,

Dreams of many flavours.

Look! There is the GPA chap!

His wish is to be the class’s cream.

Don’t look down upon him. Clap.

Because he does have a dream.

There is the big mooter, supreme:

Vienna, Jessup and places alike,

In his dreams do they chime.

You’ll go places, I know…

But I hope, you won’t chide,

These places he wants to go.

This is the sportsman, all pumped

With all skills his body does,

Look at the sweat and the pumping blood…

Berating him ‘an unserious student’ would be lame

Because he too is a student of the game.
