I often incorporate music into my classroom teaching to develop themes and connections, and to add a fun element to student learning. One of my main, and sometimes successful, hopes is that by offering music hooks in the classroom, I will motivate students to preview upcoming subjects to recommend their own music selections to me, investing students more in that subject when it arrives. I’ve learned of some great music from students through this process.
I’d like to expand my professional responsibility playlist, and a blog request previously helped me to discover some cool criminal law and criminal procedure music selections. Broadly-themed lawyer ethics music is great, such as, for example, “Blood in the Water” from the Legally Blonde musical soundtrack. So are rule- or topic-specific tracks, such as The Go-Go’s—Our Lips Are Sealed for Model Rule 1.6 and confidentiality.
Let’s hear about some good PR jams, music fans—the more the better!
