ESOTERIC LAW SCHOOL SATIRE DUE FOR PUBLICATION TODAY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The open season for parodies, which was inaugurated a few days ago by "Sonnets to a Sorehead", will be marked today by the appearance of "In Personam", a rhymed dissertation on the foibles of the Law School.

At the Christmas dinner of the Lincoln's Inn Society the poem was read by its author. It has only recently been printed, however, and will be placed on sale today. Members of Lincoln's Inn, when questioned about it last night declared, "The parody is priceless, if you are in the Law School. If not, it depends on the excellence of your sense of humor."

The author has taken verbal photographs of the professors of law in their unguarded moments. Legal rigamarole and trite phrases of the classroom have been woven into a lifelike depiction of the Law School in grotesque.
