A very short episode for the Holidays. Sung by members of the Institute for Justice. Click to listen, but here are the words:
On the 1st day of Short Circuit Christmas my federal reporter gave to me
A thesaurus under Judge Selya’s pine tree
On the 2d day of Short Circuit Christmas my federal reporter gave to me
Two Calabresi tort rules
And a thesaurus under Judge Selya’s pine tree.
On the 3d day of Short Circuit Christmas my federal reporter gave to me
Et al.
[Yeah, you know how the song goes. Let’s skip to the 12th, i.e. D.C. Cir., verse & you can see all of them at once]
Twelve vacaturs granted
Eleven judges named Pryor
Ten library courtrooms
Nine en banc reversals
Eight qualified immunities
Seven Chicago professors
Six Sutton Stanzas
Five Judge Hos
Four ex-prosecutors
Three Jersey convictions
Two Calabresi tort rules
And a thesaurus under Judge Selya’s pine tree.
