The Columbia Law Revue is one of the world’s leading organizations for making fun of legal scholarship and tradition. Founded in 19??, the Review is an independent nonprofit organization that produces a fall and spring semester show written and performed entirely by students at Columbia Law School. It is one of a handful of law school musical parody groups in the nation that performs twice a year and produces no actual legal scholarship. The Revue is one of the most celebrated and criticized law Revues in the country. It receives about X auditions per year and selects approximately all of them to perform in the show each semester, in addition to the Law Revue Band. In 2007, the Revue expanded its audience with the launch of a YouTube channel where it posts its videos. Columbia Law Revue Online, not to be confused with Columbia Law Review Online, does not exist apart from a Youtube channel and a highly secret Facebook group where we share Air Bud puns and memes. It brings together a diverse group of legal scholars, practitioners, community leaders, and judges, into one forum for mercilessly mocking the legal profession.

Manhattan Courtwatch intends to cultivate a culture of “sousveillance” or “watching from below.” Court watchers across the country challenge institutional ideas of justice and safety by attending courtrooms to draw attention to the systemic harms caused by criminal punishment and the legal system and to ensure the presence of the community is felt by the court.
Manhattan Courtwatch arranges for volunteers to attend sessions at Manhattan Criminal Court. Volunteers fill out data forms while at court and the data is used in abolition focused advocacy efforts. Volunteers are eligible to record the hours they spend on the project as pro bono hours.
