DONDA: Litigator's Lituation Edition

I spent my billables listening to the album so you don't have to.

DONDA. Biggest album drop of the year. You know its chock full of quotables you can use for your legal finsta pics. Unfortunately, you are behind schedule and don’t have the time to cull 27 tracks.

I got you.

Here are a couple captions that should signal to your career peers that you’ve heard the new hotness. Don’t worry — I’ll keep who you got these from confidential.

  • Professors to 1Ls just getting in the groove of things: “Hold up, no peace” — Heaven and Hell
  • Biglaw associates in California: “I’m in a Rolls Royce smoking whachacallit” — Off The Grid
  • Prosecutors forgetting to give Brady evidence to counsel: “I was forgetting you, now I remember” — Off the Grid
  • Politicians and attorneys getting dragged by Legal TMZ: “I’m subject to memes” — Praise God
  • When you beat opposing counsel with an overruled case: “Why can’t losers ever lose in peace?” — Junya
  • The accused once they realize their attorneys can’t give them money: “God gon post my bail tonight” — Jail
  • When your work buddy laterals after we post salary raises: “I watch so many people leave I see em change by the season” — Jesus Lord

Those should keep you posted for now. I’ll be Off The Grid till Drake drops CLB.
