Bluebook,\" \"Livin\' Life In Six Minutes,\" \"Everywhere There Is A Client,\" and

Press Release Body: New York, NY -- Indie music label LawTunes (www.LawTunes.com)
introduced and defined the unique genre of humorous, lawyer-created \"Legal Holiday
Rock\" in its three groundbreaking albums, \"Merry Lexmas From The Lawtunes,\" \"Legal
Holidaze,\" and \"The Lawyer\'s Holiday Humor Album.\" This year, LawTunes points its
wingtips in a new direction.

Its new CD, \"The Lawtunes: Live At Blackacre,\" is a broader take on the law,
lawyers, and legal practice through ten original rock-and-roll tunes in an album not
limited by content or style to any particular season. The CD even includes a few
\"love songs,\" although expressed in the language of an attorney. The album makes a
great holiday gift for lawyers, law students, paralegals, and all other law firm or
corporate or governmental legal department personnel -- and the people who know,
work with, and/or love them. Premised as a \"live\" concert at \"Blackacre,\" the
legendary parcel of land so often referenced in eternally-painful law school
examination questions and scholarly legal treatises/articles, the new album
includes:

1. \"(She\'s An) Electronic Discovery\": There\'s probably no \"hotter\" topic in the law
today than the review and production in litigation of e-mail and other electronic
documents. But that context and its developing terminology (including data
accessibility, preservation, spoliation, retention policies, metadata, embedded
images, the recent Federal Rules of Civil Procedure amendments, and the leading
Zubulake line of cases) are appropriated with gusto to tell the tale of a lawyer
falling in virtual love.

2. \"Lawyers\' Blood Is Typo\": A lawyer is called upon after-hours (assuming there is
such a thing anymore) to provide guidance to a \"client\" seeking a reliable life
partner, and explains why he is qualified to do so.

3. \"Della Street\": A tribute to the most famous of legal secretaries, in a style
appropriate to when \"Perry Mason\" first aired.

4. \"LawMan\": A hard-pounding and blunt explanation of exactly what it is that
lawyers do.

5. \"Orderin\' In\": The pleasures of working late and eating at your desk. To the
extent there are any, this song extols them.

6. \"Cadillac Cab\": The big-city law firm/corporate perk with double-edges, as
detailed herein.

7. \"Little Bluebook\": A lawyer frustrated in love desperately seeks guidance from
the legal citation style manual, invoking a generous helping of the jargon of that
treatise.

8. \"Livin\' Life In Six Minutes\": A new acoustic version of a popular Lawtunes song
lamenting the reduction of legal practice (and life) to billing increments of tenths
of an hour.

9. \"Everywhere There Is A Client\": As close to an anthem for lawyers as there is,
explaining some of why lawyers do what they do.

10. \"Santa\'s G.C.\": Well, old habits die hard. The album concludes with this
whimsical tale about a lawyer who goes in-house to become General Counsel at Santa,
Inc.

As composed, recorded, and produced by practicing litigation attorney Lawrence
Savell, the songs incorporate a broad spectrum of popular/classic rock-and-roll
styles. Like its predecessors, the CD is available at www.LawTunes.com (both solo or
all four in partnership as the \"LawTunes Jury Boxed Set\") and soon will also be at
major online venues including Amazon, iTunes, and CD Baby.

LawTunes\' efforts are dedicated to the proposition that lawyers\' zealous
representation of clients and furtherance of the public good can be only enhanced by
a healthy willingness of lawyers to poke fun at themselves appropriately on
occasion. They contribute to the effort to make people think a little differently
about lawyers, and show that attorneys are not necessarily humorless, boring, or
incapable of self-deprecation (success on at least the last item is guaranteed).
