Lyrics for the music video:
Twenty years old, pretty smart kid
Didn't know what I wanted to do
So I took the LSAT
And just like that
I got accepted at Glendale U

Everyone said it was a real safe bet
A prestigious and lucrative vocation
So I set off on a journey
To become an attorney
Without a moment's hesitation

But here's some free advice I'm givin'
When it comes to decidin' what to do for a livin'

Don't be a lawyer!
Don't do it!
Quickest way to ruin your life
Don't be a lawyer!
Not worth it!
It'll leave you dead inside

The job is inherently crappy
That's why you've never met a lawyer who's happy
It's a guaranteed soul destroyer
Don't be a lawyer

Law school debt
Daily regret
Is that really what you dreamed as a kid?
Or did you hope one day
That you'd find a way
To spend four years workin' on a pharmaceutical company's merger with another pharmaceutical company?

Your only expertise
Is runnin' up fees
Speakin' legalese like a dick
But it's not too late
To avoid this fate
Find any other job to pick

Sure, your parents might think you're a failure
But no one's ever said, "First, let's kill all the tailors."

Don't be a lawyer!
I'm serious, it really, really sucks
Don't be a lawyer!
No one you work with looks like Ally McBeal

There are so many other professions
That don't turn you into Jeff Sessions
Just say no to the lawyer employer
No, don't be a lawyer

What about human rights law?
No money, no, no money
Environmental law?
No money, even less money
Immigration law?
No money, plus it's a bummer
Okay, but what if you make it to the Supreme Court?
It'd be great to be on the Supreme Court
But you'll never be on the Supreme Court
There's truly no chance of that happenin'
The preceding song in no way reflects the views of CBS and the CW network
Ah, screw it
See? Don't be a lawyer!

I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous. Today I'm taking a break from representing clients and teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth. This is part of a continuing series of "Lawyer Reaction" videos. Got a legal movie or TV show you'd like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!
