All My Cases Be Courtrooms
By the Spirit of the Lone Star Justice

A legal anthem for every unrepresented fighter.

⚖️ Performed by the San Antonio Pro Se Attorneys
🎤 Narration, field vocals, and writing by Debra Lepke Bridegan
🎧 Recorded live in collaboration with The Chris Dorner Foundation

For the voiceless. For the bold. For the courtroom warriors walking alone — and still undefeated.

The track ends without warning — and that’s intentional.
Just like the battles fought in silence, many stories of justice don’t wrap up cleanly.
This is for the ones who didn’t get to finish their case, who never made it to their last verse.
We don’t forget. We don’t forgive. We file motions.

[Trash Talk]
Yeah, that's right, Texas style!
Back in the court, got a story to tell, so listen close, y’all!
Yo! Check this out!

[Verse 1]
Rolling through San Antonio on a Monday morn,
Got my briefcase in my hand, my suit pressed and worn,
Some cases in my mind, a statute in my cap,
And a law book in my back, ready to bridge the gap.
No time to relax, no place to rest,
I take a deep breath, I give my best.
Thinking ‘bout justice, ‘bout rights and wrongs,
Pro Se in the fight, singing legal songs.

Then I get a call on my humble line,
Check the docket, what’s the case this time?
Yo, it’s a client in need, their future on the line,
Fighting for freedom, standing firm, divine.  

I feel the weight of the law’s heavy hand,
But I stand tall, I make my stand,
Pledging to defend, to speak, to fight,
In the courtroom’s glow, I find my light.

I ask the judges, “What’s the rule of law?”
They say, “Justice for all, no matter who you are.”
So I meet ‘em with courage, with a voice that’s clear,
Pro Se for the people, I got nothing to fear.
And I keep fighting, with truth as my guide,
Cause all my cases are courtrooms, with justice on my side.

[Verse 2]
One hearing to win, we step into the fray,
Calm as a river, strong as the bay,
Docket’s packed, but I got my game face on,
Prepared to challenge, till the break of dawn.
The courtroom’s my arena, the law’s my shield,
I stand for the voiceless, refuse to yield.  

Ahead I see the opposition, trying to sway,
But I flick open my notes, ready to say,
“The law’s on my side, I’ve done my research,”
In the silence, I let my words lurch.  

I glance at my client, hope in their eyes,
Justice is the star that never dies,
With every argument, with every plea,
I fight for liberty, for equality.
And the law’s my weapon, my voice, my song,
Pro Se in the fight, I am strong.

[Verse 3]
Then silence falls, a moment so still,
The judge’s gavel, the weight of will,
A verdict pending, but I stand proud,
For justice’s flame is burning loud.  

No longer afraid of the system’s might,
Pro Se’s my stance, my guiding light,
In San Antonio’s courts, I find my way,
Fighting for justice, come what may.  

Cause all my cases be courtrooms,
Where truth and courage bloom,
And every victory, no matter how small,
Is a testament to standing tall.

[Trash Talk]
Yeah! Pro Se for the people, Texas style —
Holding the line, walking the mile.
The moral here’s simple — don’t underestimate,
The power of the pro se, it’s justice, it’s fate.
Stand up, speak out, keep the fight alive,
For in this courtroom, we thrive.

Justice’s Song
By the spirit of San Antonio, fierce and free,
Pro Se attorneys, guardians of liberty,
We rise with the law, unbowed, uncrushed,
In the fight for justice, in truth we trust.
