More from the Virginia Law Libel Show: The BarBri Video
The dominant company in the bar exam test prep market, Bar/Bri, has been sued for alleged violations of federal antitrust laws. That class action lawsuit may be settling -- and you might be a class member entitled to settlement proceeds. Click here for more info.
Are Bar/Bri's legal woes over? Not necessarily. Given how painful it can be to sit through some of their classes, it's only a matter of time before BarBri gets sued again. We're sure some enterprising plaintiffs' lawyer can come up with a tort theory for suing Bar/Bri, on behalf of all students who have had to suffer through their courses.
If you think such a lawsuit would be frivolous, then watch this video from the 2005 Virginia Law Libel Show (the same folks who brought you that Beastie Boys parody). The idiocy has been exaggerated for comic effect -- but not by much. Enjoy.

I thought Paula Franzese was the only barbri teacher who acted like this.
UVA Libel Show is awesome...
"I was in law school, and not at some half-assed, barely-accredited place like Michigan..."
It would be funnier if law students had a better idea of what a bar review course was like. It seems like the video is better geared towards lawyers.
This is brilliant.
Astoundingly funny.
Wait...I don't get it.
great stuff.
but, where's the 25 comment thread on this guy's looks? weird.
I like the Erica Fine "dead guy" jokes.

funny
and 'just sayin', looks don't matter for men, only money does. but for women, looks are the number one asset that they have to offer a man. so get on that elliptical ASAP.
unbelievably funny
very funny, but following that kirkland link reveals he's got two middle initials? U & S? seriously?
A little long and drawn out for my taste...the joke gets really old.
Is the UVA Libel Show a musical like the other Law Revues?
Would explain why everyone calls him RUSH if his initials are R.U.S.H.
Seriously he's the funniest person to ever set foot on grounds. The Libel Show weeps without him.

Rush is my hero. He was at Second City before law school, which helps explain his comedic brilliance.
his law firm picture makes him look like a completely different person.
12:42 either mixed up the URLs or doesn't understand what the words "better" and "worse" mean.
I like the Paula comment!!! She was my property professor at SHULaw and had quite a little scene going on with a one John "KIP" Cornwell! Wow, were those ever good times!!!!
brilliant. truly brilliant.
Absolutely perfect.
