(ripped off from derek)

 

One L: The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School, by Scott Turow ($13.95)
Law school classic. Re-experience those Socratically-induced clammy palms and night sweats!

 

The New Yorker Book of Lawyer Cartoons ($22.00)
Because it’s full of cartoons about lawyers!

 

The Verdict (Two-Disc Collector's Edition), starring Paul Newman and directed by Sidney Lumet ($10.99)
Washed-up ambulance-chasing lawyer redeems himself in court. Look in the “Science Fiction” section.

 

The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court, by Jeffrey Toobin ($27.75)
Equally effective as a gift for a law student (“incredibly well written and obviously meticulously researched”) or to annoy Robert Bork (“a liberal media hack job”).

 

Francis Francis! Espresso machine ($488)
To keep ‘em well wired through those all-nighters.

 

Sharper Image Leather Flask ($31.95)
Small enough for a pocket or a purse, no lawyer should be without one.

 

Philips 10.2-Inch Digital Photo Frame ($279.95)
So your law guy/gal doesn’t forget what their family looks like.

 

To Kill a Mockingbird Signed First Edition ($39,500)
Watch him weep at his lost idealism!

 

“Delightful 4 bedroom residence”($1,650,000)
Why should the bankers be the only ones who can “afford the south side?” Help remedy this injustice!

 

Vault membership (PRICELESS)
For the lawyer looking for a change.
