1️⃣ DAY REMAINING UNTIL HOODING & COMMENCEMENT 🔊 SOUND ON Twas the night before Hooding, when all through Worrell Not a 3L was stirring, as they prepared for conferral The exams were all taken and the regalia picked up And all that remained was an exciting buildup To the day you’ve been awaiting After three years of work Now onto the next chapter Whether law firm or clerk But remember Wake Law Dear #LegalDeac grad And the good times you had From bar review nights And the Michelle Obama Vending Machine™ To the clinics and classes And the Courtyard’s sites and scenes To the deans and the profs And the Order of Coif To JBIPL, JLP, and Law Review And the Legal Grounds Cafe for a morning brew To cramming for Torts or Property or Civ Pro To the statutes and laws you never thought you’d know To the bagel during exams that caught on fire To the moment you found you were the New Hire But most of all, Dear Grad, we hope you never forget The classmates and friends you can’t believe you met You supported each other, through good times and heartache And a piece of you will always belong to Wake. @iplawjournal @wfulawjlp
