That Perfect Gift for the New Grad: Learned Handmade Plates

If this isn’t law student creativity, I don’t know what is.
José Arcadio Klein, 3L at Harvard, has designed a line of “Learned Handmade Plates.” Klein describes the
Legal Plate Project as “represent[ing] an album of the
American Law School Experience. The plates are snapshots from the core of
law as it is taught. Most law students have been expected to memorize
most of the cases depicted here. They have been evaluated on the basis of
how well they can reproduce the information these cases contain.”
And indeed, in the collection you can find plates for such classic cases as Ex Parte Quirin, Phillip Morris USA v. Williams, Brandenburg v. Ohio, or A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. U.S. and others. There are also commemorative plates for all current Supreme Court Justices [I like the Scalia plate the best].
The plates are on sale through Etsy, the Ebay of handmade goods, minus the bidding. And yes, there’s a graduation sale on the Supremes.

Thanks for the tip. Moving from plates to platters, may we also humbly suggest a law school graduation gift that really rocks -- indie music label LawTunes' (www.lawtunes.com) "The LawTunes Jury Boxed Set" -- four CDs of humorous original law-related rock-and-roll songs composed and produced by a practicing attorney? The albums incorporate a broad spectrum of popular/classic rock-and-roll styles, taking on the law, lawyers, and legal practice in a hilarious, but positive, way. They truly are "The Musical Scales of Justice"! Thanks again.
