"Music Lover Shows Legal Twist," Law Institute Journal (Law Institute of
Victoria, Melbourne, Australia), January/February 2008, at 87:
Announcing the winner of LIJ's holiday song title
competition (competition was set forth in its
December 2007 issue), with the
prize being "a copy of US attorney Lawrence Savell's fourth album The
Lawtunes: Live at Blackacre." In its
January/February 2008 issue, LIJ
ran a story announcing the winner, showing him, a managing partner, proudly
holding the CD, noting that the winner had "also won the Lawtunes prize in
2003" (an earlier CD in a prior LIJ competition).

Reminiscence quoted in tribute to beloved high school
teacher:
I have nothing but very positive memories of David, be
they of him as a dedicated and motivating teacher or as an encouraging
director. But what I remember most was his response to a story I wrote
for him for Latin class in 1971, shortly after my father passed away.
The story involved a character who suffered just such a loss (perhaps a
bit of self-therapy by a troubled 13-yearold). For that submission,
David gave me two grades: one for Latin usage (a fully justified C+) and
one for content. The latter grade he assigned to that otherwise
pedestrian narrative was an A+, which communicated to me, in the
profound poetry of his unexpressed explanation, his tremendous
compassion and understanding.

"Juris Rocker," Cornell Alumni News, July/August 2008, at 85:
"Lawrence Savell '79
"The guitar came first—an acoustic six-string, circa 1976,
that Lawrence Savell bought with a scholarship check that was supposed to go
toward his Cornell tuition. The law career that inspired his music came a
few years later. Now, Savell is a lawyer by day and a musician by night.
He's often up late, writing and recording original songs that satirize his
job as a litigator for Chadbourne & Parke in New York City. Most of his
songs are inspired by everyday tasks—sifting through piles to find the one
document necessary to win a case, ordering take-out at his desk, reading
legal citation manuals. 'If I stopped coming to work,' he says, 'I'd run out
of material.'
"Savell is still using the guitar he bought in Ithaca; his
only formal training was a couple of group lessons in Willard Straight Hall.
So far, he's sold more than 1,000 copies of his albums, which feature tunes
that he describes as 'simple' and 'hummable.' (They include a love song
entitled 'She's an Electronic Discovery' and an ode to Perry Mason's
secretary, Della Street.) He makes most of his sales online, through his
website (lawrencesavell.com) or amazon.com, or at his performances at law
firm parties and legal conferences. But for Savell, selling albums isn't the
point. He says lawyers often get a bad rap, and he wants to dispel the myth
that people in his field are consumed by their careers. Says Savell: 'We're
not as stuffy and as distant as we might be perceived.'"

"For a nice reprieve from studies and stress, it’s important
to have healthy distractions. I have found one such distraction in the form
of a hot new band. That’s right folks, you heard it here first. Their name:
The LawTunes. The Album: Live at Blackacre. This album features such chart
toppers as, '(She’s an) Electronic Discovery,' 'Lawyers’ Blood is Typo,' and
'Little Bluebook.' This beauty can be sampled and, should you feel so
inspired, purchased at www.lawhumor.com. Enjoy!"

"Today we recorded the 150th episode of our weekly legal-affairs podcast
Lawyer2Lawyer. The show is not yet ready to post, but as we were
recording, our favorite lawyer/recording artist
Larry Savell of
LawTunes surprised and honored us
with our very own Lawyer2Lawyer song that he composed and recorded to mark
our third anniversary. It is very good, if I may say so myself, and VERY
funny. He has posted it at this
Lawyer2Lawyer song
page in a choice of high- and low-fidelity MP3 and Windows Media files."

"This week marks our 150th podcast on Lawyer2Lawyer, and in
honor of our third anniversary, Bob Ambrogi and I had Larry Savell of
LawTunes back on the show, and he did us the great honor of
composing and singing a
song for the show. You can click on the link below to listen to the
song, and here are the lyrics:

"If you could actually hear me right now, you would be hearing 'oh my
god, oh my god, oh my god,…' etc. This has the be the ultimate marriage of
law and music. I must have been living under some kind of boulder, but
apparently, in this age of extreme specialization, there actually is
something known as 'The LawTunes' - legal humor lawyer gift music CDs by and
for lawyers. With the tagline 'musical scales of justice', this unique
musical group (or should I say 'firm'), has produced such gems as '(She’s
an) Electronic Discovery', 'Little Bluebook', 'Another Billable Christmas'
and 'Rainmaker Reindeer.' You will be treated to clips of these songs when
you enter the site. I still can't believe I heard the word 'certiorari' in a
song and probably never will again. There are four CDs available, which can
be had for a bargain price when you buy all four. The latest is the pictured
album 'Live At Blackacre.' The band members are listed as follows, but I
think these are stage names:
Micah (”Courthouse Steps”) Jagger - Plaintiff’s Counsel, Oral
Argument, Strutting Around, Shirt Removal, Lead Vocals
Nicholas (”Prosser on”) Tortolli - In-House Counsel, Bass, Alto Fax,
Photocopier, Invoice Review, Vocals
Maxwell (”Max”) Billings - External Defense Counsel, Drafting,
Electric Guitar, Electronic Discovery, Wardrobe, Vocals
Smash (”Bones”) Drummond - Prosecutor’s Office, Drums/Percussion and
Other Auditory Damage, Cellphone, Vocals
Malcolm (”Mal”) Practisse - Solo Practitioner, Keyboards, Shredder,
Excuses, Professional Liability Insurance, Vocals
"My hat is off to Larry Savell and The Lawtunes for embarking on such an
artistically intellectual and uniquely melodic course! This is must-see
web-surfing at its finest! My work here is done."

"Deck the halls—the holiday season is officially here. And since lawyers
don’t know how to emotionally connect with anything unless it directly
speaks to their profession, LawTunes.com
is spreading Christmas cheer to the stunted law masses with a new
law-related holiday album that’s sure to please the gentile esquire in all
of us. Since you want everything to remind you about your job (afterall,
it’s the only thing that defines you as a person), pump up the volume and
put 'It’s Gonna Be A Billable Christmas' on repeat. No word on a Hanukah CD
counterpart, which is a bummer because 'Maccabean Rainmaker' and 'So Many
HLS Loans, Not Enough Gelt' would be h-o-t tracks.
