Military law school graduates have a long and varied career ahead of them.
Your friend, sibling or child is graduating law school in the field of military law. What should you get them? The best graduation gifts are things your graduate will be truly be able to use in her professional life. When planning gifts, remember that your graduate will probably be joining the military. In many ways, her job will be similar to her civilian counterparts', but there are some differences -- she may have to travel a lot more, for instance. Only you know your graduate's personal preferences, but here are some basic ideas for a military law graduate.
Standard Gifts
Your graduate may be entering the military, but she'll still be a lawyer. The usual law school graduation gift standards certainly apply. Briefcases, office decorations and high-tech pens never go out of style.
Here is a good option if your budget is limited: you can get something small, such as a paperweight, and know that it will be at the center of your graduate's professional life.
High-quality Webcams
Your graduate could be stationed anywhere around the world -- he'll need to talk to family and friends. Web cams are a great way to keep in touch with people around the world because they offer visual as well as audio communication.
Many laptops come equipped with web cams, but a high-quality one can make a big difference in communication quality. Expect to pay up to $100 for a really good web cam.
GPS Devices
People working for the military often have to travel to places they've never been before. A GPS (global positioning system) can make the difference between being on time (which is late by military standards, as the saying goes) and being early (which is on time).
A GPS device can be used around the world, so it's a good gift if you don't know exactly what your graduate's plans are. These items are on the pricier end of the gift spectrum -- you'll probably have to shell out several hundred dollars for a good one.
Military-themed Diploma Frames
A law school diploma is definitely something to put on the wall. Your graduate might enjoy a frame that highlights the military aspect of his career. Many websites offer personalized diploma frames with military imagery. You can go for a specific branch of the military, or you can choose abstract patriotic concepts such as eagles and flags. A quality frame can range between $100 and $200.
Work Tools
Your friend or family member is graduating law school, but there's a good chance she's still going to be involved in research once she's in the military. You can give her something to help study the massive amounts of information she'll be taking in. It could be as simple as a planner, or it could be a major purchase like a laptop.
