Fun Gifts for Lawyers

Clothing

• Funny slogans appear on merchandise, such as T-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies. Slogans include "Lawyers Are Cool," "Trust Me, I'm a Lawyer," "Be Nice to Me, I Might Be Your Lawyer Someday" and "Objection!" There are button badges too and one has the comment, "Lawyers Have Feelings Too, Allegedly." Boxer shorts bear the witticism, "Legal Briefs."

For the Home

• There are a number of posters with slogans and other designs, such as panels with multicolored scales, a reproduction of the Bill of Rights and a picture of Justice from the tarot card deck. Slogans are printed on mugs, including "A Good Lawyer Knows the Law, A Great Lawyer Knows the Judge" and "I'm a Lawyer, Not a Magician." A calendar with a picture of a shark reads "Has Anyone Seen My Brother the Lawyer?" A cushion reads "Other Lawyers Tremble When They Hear My Name." There are porcelain ornaments too including three seated judges in red gowns.

Games and Quizzes

• Various board games, card games and quizzes have legal themes to test the knowledge of the players in a fun way. There is the Lawsuit board game, the U.S. Constitution Quiz and the Passing the Bar board game.

DVDs and Videos

• Many movies have plots involving the law and courtroom dramas. Most of these are serious dramas but some are humorous, such as "Adam's Rib," a comedy starring Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn as a man and wife pair of lawyers on opposing sides in a case. Box sets of legal TV shows are also available, including "Boston Legal," "Perry Mason" and "Law &Order."

Books

• There are books that list the antiquated laws that are still on the statute that no one has gotten around to repealing. Other books relate real life humorous court cases. Cartoons, jokes and funny quotes are all included in law-related books.

Miscellaneous

• Bumper stickers for the car have pithy comments, such as "Great Lawyers Never Lose Their Appeal." Other items are suitable for the desk in the office or for the home. A barrister teddy bear or a judge figurine are ideas for a gift to someone who has just been promoted or who has passed the bar exams. A Billable Hour Watch counts the percentages of the hour for billing instead of the time.
