Critical Legal Studies

The point is to build new communities,

To counter inevitability,

To give new projects opportunities,

To open doors for possibility.

You got that vibe from Duncan Kennedy,

You read his crit memos by candlelight,

His line inspired a gay serenity,

And a lit class dinner one Cambridge night.

'Twas more than forty years ago today,

That Duncan taught his merry band to play,

Can you turn his song into a model,

Pinned down like a ship inside a bottle?

Maybe it's better turned into a dream,

Of a future free left where poli scheme.
