The Legal Christmas Music Contest is back this year. Bigger and better. This year the scope for entries is much wider. This year the aim is to make money for the Billable Hour Appeal.

Last Case Management Conference, you approved my Costs Budget,
But the very next day, I exceeded it anyway.

Last Case Management Conference, you approved my Costs Budget,
But the very next day, I exceeded it anyway.
This year to save me from tears,
I am going to change profession.
Happy Xmas (Standard Basis Costs is over)
I’m dreaming of a White Book Christmas
Just like the ones Lord Denning knew
Where the Hightrees glisten
And Judges listen
To hear submissions in the snow
I’m dreaming of a White Book Christmas
With every skeleton I write
May your judgments be upheld and right
And may all your listings be High Court.
Dashing through the office,
It’s nearly Christmas time,
Excited for a break
With lots of cheese and wine,
Friday afternoon,
Get a Part 18 from D,
Stressing out completely,
I’m on annual leave next week…
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Oh no, not for me,
I’ll be chained to my laptop
For three more months at least,
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Ha ha not a chance,
Not while I am still doing
The litigation dance.
Dashing through the house,
Now on annual leave,
But D’s up to its tricks,
Part 36 on Christmas Eve,
Digging out the laptop,
To draft some ITC,
Get them out to Counsel,
No rest for them or me…
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Oh no, not for me,
Litigation doesn’t care
That I’m on annual leave,
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Will have to wait you see,
As a lawyer, it’s the
Litigation life for me.
Festive fun is calling,
But lots to finish first,
When it comes having breaks,
We lawyers are the worst,
Now it’s Christmas Day,
The day I love the best
I really, really love my job,
But so glad of a rest…
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Put the laptop down,
Lots of food and alcohol
And family all around,
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Put the phone on mute,
Merry Christmas you hard working lawyers,
All of you I salute!
