Lyrics
Verse 1]
I walked into class, with the Rules on my screen,
Memories of cases, and what they all mean.
Rule 12 in my pocket, motions flying free,
Dismiss or defend, what will the answer be?
[Chorus]
We're spinning through the Rules, like a perfect rhyme,
Sanctions under Rule 11, we avoid every time.
Dancing through dockets, with motions in hand,
We'll master the procedures, and firmly we'll stand.
[Verse 2]
Rule 26 starts the discovery phase,
Gathering evidence, through the procedural haze.
Early conferences to plan the trial's scope,
Optimizing resources with a gleam of hope.
[Verse 3]
Interrahgatories, Rule 33’s leed,
Questions in writing, the answers we need.
And Rule 34’s requests, documents to share,
Producing as required, with utmost care.
[Bridge]
Rule 65’s injunctions, restraining orders in the night,
Temporary or permanent, in justice’s light.
And don’t overlook, Rule 68’s offer,
Settle the claims, or costs might be tougher.
[Chorus]
We're spinning through the Rules, like a perfect rhyme,
Sanctions under Rule 11, we avoid every time.
Dancing through dockets, with motions in hand,
We'll master the procedures, and firmly we'll stand.
[Verse 4]
Then comes Rule 56, with summary’s call,
No genuine dispute, they want to end it all.
But if facts are contested, to trial we’ll go,
Convincing the jury, the truth we will show.
[Verse 5]
Rule 15, amendments, with cause we can plead,
Change our complaints, as the facts will lead.
21 days to respond, or perhaps even less,
Under Rule 6, we manage the time stress.
[Outro]
Oh, here’s to the days of motions and briefs,
To the clerks and the judges, the relief and the griefs.
Civil Pro-seedure, our guide and our lore,
Through each rule and each section, our legal minds soar.
[END]
