1.                Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go by Soft Cell
Usually talks about the first time someone wants to leave a relationship.  “I want to get away, I want to runaway.”

2.                Should I Stay or Should I Go by The Clash
Cool song by a cool band.  Asks the obvious question.

3.                Lawyers, Guns, and Money by Warren Zevon
How should we settle disputes?  I submit the law allows for the peaceful settlement of disputes.  Contact one of the lawyers at Galvin, Dominguez, Hindera, & Schwab LLP and schedule an appointment to see if we can help with your dispute.

4.                Know Your Rights by The Clash
Again, this is so important if you are served with any type of lawsuit.  Contact your lawyer.

5.                What’s Love Got to do With It by Tina Turner
Supposedly a song about her relationship with the late Ike Turner reportedly involving domestic violence, abuse, infidelity, and cruelty.  The important thing to take from this is that love has nothing to do with a family law case.  It’s about division of assets and/or how to care for the children.

6.                No Surrender by Bruce Springsteen
From the time the case begins to the end just remember this line “no retreat, no surrender.”

7.                We Can Work it Out by The Beatles
The ultimate mediation song.

8.                Burning Down the House by the Talking Heads
How most people feel after a property settlement.

9.                Sweet Child of Mine by Sheryl Crow and Guns n Roses
Remember to never get the children in the middle.  They are our sweet children. Our beautiful boys and our beautiful girls. Sheryl talks about a boy and G n R about a girl.

10.            I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor
Disco era song that has become the anthem persons involved in failed relationships everywhere.  The neat thing is most people do survive.

Other Good Songs About the Law

1.                Breaking the Law by Judas Priest
For criminal law.  Another cool band.  Saw them way back when at the Sam Houston Colisseum in Houston.

2.                America by Neil Diamond
The best song for immigration law…except for maybe The Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin.   Never been a huge Neil fan but you got to admit, he is the leader of planet chest hair.

3.                Mack the Knife by various artists including Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darin, and Frank Sinatra
Again, criminal law.  Talks about the knifing portrayed in the Three Penny Opera.

4.                Our Lawyer had Us Change the Name of This Song so We Wouldn’t Get Sued by The Fallout Boys
A song involving music copyright.  Not that it actually does, but you got to admit, it’s a cool title.

5.                I Fought the Law by The Clash
Yes, another song by The Clash.  I’m trying not to be biased even though I wore out the grooves to London Calling and Combat Rock.  Later, I played the cassettes so much the tape was paper thin where every third word was missing.  Lost the CDs in a divorce.  Now I have the songs from ITunes.  Seems I was destined to be a lawyer…and sample all music technology.
