holding the CD, noting that the winner had "also won the Lawtunes prize in
2003" (an earlier CD in a prior LIJ competition).

Reminiscence quoted in tribute to beloved high school
teacher:
I have nothing but very positive memories of David, be
they of him as a dedicated and motivating teacher or as an encouraging
director. But what I remember most was his response to a story I wrote
for him for Latin class in 1971, shortly after my father passed away.
The story involved a character who suffered just such a loss (perhaps a
bit of self-therapy by a troubled 13-yearold). For that submission,
David gave me two grades: one for Latin usage (a fully justified C+) and
one for content. The latter grade he assigned to that otherwise
pedestrian narrative was an A+, which communicated to me, in the
profound poetry of his unexpressed explanation, his tremendous
compassion and understanding.

"Lawrence Savell '79
"The guitar came first—an acoustic six-string, circa 1976,
that Lawrence Savell bought with a scholarship check that was supposed to go
toward his Cornell tuition. The law career that inspired his music came a
few years later. Now, Savell is a lawyer by day and a musician by night.
He's often up late, writing and recording original songs that satirize his
job as a litigator for Chadbourne & Parke in New York City. Most of his
songs are inspired by everyday tasks—sifting through piles to find the one
document necessary to win a case, ordering take-out at his desk, reading
legal citation manuals. 'If I stopped coming to work,' he says, 'I'd run out
of material.'
"Savell is still using the guitar he bought in Ithaca; his
only formal training was a couple of group lessons in Willard Straight Hall.
So far, he's sold more than 1,000 copies of his albums, which feature tunes
that he describes as 'simple' and 'hummable.' (They include a love song
entitled 'She's an Electronic Discovery' and an ode to Perry Mason's
secretary, Della Street.) He makes most of his sales online, through his
website (lawrencesavell.com) or amazon.com, or at his performances at law
firm parties and legal conferences. But for Savell, selling albums isn't the
point. He says lawyers often get a bad rap, and he wants to dispel the myth
that people in his field are consumed by their careers. Says Savell: 'We're
not as stuffy and as distant as we might be perceived.'"
