Study, argue, think
Lawyers share common bonds with Artists
How novel, how strange
These seven boxes of time and space
Meted out by name, code, and key
Four hours at a time
to help us focus
fine tune, persuade, and grow
Sanctuary from the outside world
in the lower level
cut off from light
and noise, save for our peers
Struggling they too
to learn the law
A new language, around ancient
principles and traditions
Secrets found within
the four walls of the law
(Raymond A. Foss)
