Law school graduation is an exciting time for students. Three years of hard work is behind them, and new adventures await as they prepare for the bar examination and to work in the profession. Give a gift which prepares the graduate for the next chapter in his life.
Black's Law Dictionary
Every attorney needs a Black's Law Dictionary. Black's Law Dictionary is the most well-known and most often use dictionary of legal terms used in the practice of law. Attorneys use this reference book to not only look-up complex or unknown legal concepts, but often cite the dictionary is legal memorandum and legal briefs. In addition to being available in deluxe and abridged print versions, there are now digital applications of the dictionary so that attorneys easily can access all 45,000 definitions.
"The Thinker" Bookends
Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker Statute" is often seen in law firm offices. The bookends depict a man deep in thought; attorneys often spend a significant amount of time thinking about legal problems and weighing various options. As such, many attorneys appreciate the symbolic nature of the bookends. Moreover, using bookends allows attorneys to maintain a clean and organized office which speaks to their professionalism.
Gift Certificates
Most law school graduates begin preparing for the bar examination within a week or two after graduating law school. As a result, many graduates do not work during this time and/or have little time to engage in basic tasks such as shopping and cooking. Gift certificates can fill this void by making life easier and more convenient during this stressful time. Gift certificates to coffee shops and restaurants are especially valuable as are movie gift certifications (for those rare, but needed, study breaks). A spa gift certificate also can help to relax the graduate prior to taking the exam.
Professional Tools
A business card holder, leather portfolio, fountain pen, and/or a leather briefcase help a law school graduate look professional, organized and competent. Seasoned attorneys can easily spot a new attorney and this can often work against the new attorney. These professional tools can help new attorneys exude an air of confidence, and show others that they should be taken seriously despite recently graduating from law school.
