Graduating law school is one of the biggest moments in a young legal professional's life. The amount of education and dedication it takes to become a lawyer is staggering to anyone who isn't driven by a passion to practice the law. This is an important milestone, and one that deserves to be celebrated. If a loved one in your life is graduating law school soon, it's time to plan the perfect gift.
Ways to Celebrate Law School Graduation
There are many ways to celebrate law school graduation, but the best way depends on the individual. Some people will want to hit the bar with their besties before they have to study for the bar. Some will want to stay in and recuperate with a few loved ones nearby. You might take your graduate out to dinner or make them something extra special at home. Of course, gifts are always on the table.
Law school graduation gifts are not just traditional, they also set your future-lawyer up for success by providing things they'll need and installing essential confidence before they take the bar exam. When planning a celebration, use your knowledge of your loved one or ask them how they want to be celebrated to plan the perfect event. But your gift should be a pleasant surprise.
How to Choose the Perfect Graduation Gift
The perfect law school graduation gift should show your graduate how important this milestone truly is. It can help to work together with others to make sure they get a little bit of everything in this special moment.
The ideal blend includes a few joke gifts to lift their spirits, a few formal gifts to supply them for a life spent in business suits, and one or two truly meaningful personalized items that they can cherish forever and remember this moment by.
Hilariously Law School Graduation Gifts
Let's start with the dash of humor. Law school is stressful and the bar exam even more so. Your graduate will benefit from a good belly laugh to let off some steam in between. Joke gifts and funny gifts that will lift their spirits during their law career should always be in the mix.
Silly Lawyer Socks
Lawyers have to dress formally most of the time, especially if they are seeking an in-court career. But hidden socks can be silly. Hilarious law-themed socks can be a fun way to spice up your law graduate's wardrobe while still looking formal on the surface.
Lawyer Joke T-Shirts
When it's time to relax, lawyers typically love funny legal-themed t-shirts. Whether your law graduate loves puns, arguing, or drinking - there are tons of lawyer joke shirts to choose from.
Legal Decision Spinner
The legal decision spinner is a law school graduation gift classic, making important decisions later much easier with options like "Ask Mom", "Plea Bargain" and "Lie" in the mix.
Elegant Court-Wear
Your law graduate is about to transition from frizzy all-nighter study hair to a full-time formal dress code. They will want to impress clients, legal partners, and court judges with their put-together elegance, which means having all the right gear. As a group, loved ones of a law school graduate can help set them up for success with a few gifts of elegant court-ready attire.
Scales of Justice Jewelry
Jewelry is a favorite type of graduation gift. For lawyers, the scales of justice make a beautiful necklace, earrings, or cufflinks to accentuate their new formal look.
A Leather Briefcase or Folio
Every lawyer needs a breifcase, sleek laptop bag, and/or folio. Gift your graduate something leather and formal to make them look and feel more official when on official lawyer business.
Smart Ties and Tie Clips
For gentlemen (and ladies, if they like ties), a variety of formal ties and elegant tie clips can really help set them up for a successful courtroom look. A variety of ties can also make a closet of similar suits feel snappy and new.
Custom and Personalized
Lastly, show your real affection and congratulations with a few meaningful personalized gifts. These are the gifts that will bring tears to the eyes of your graduate when they realize how much thought and consideration you put into each piece.
Personalized Legal Stationary
Even in the digital age, every lawyer needs a personal legal stationary pad. This allows them to send letters "From the office of" which can be essential to resolve many different legal matters with organizations and clients. Give your lawyer a head start with this meaningful personalized gift of beautiful personalized stationary.
Initialed Fountain Pens
Signing documents is another important part of being a lawyer. Their signature will have power, and so too should their pens. One beautiful set of engraved fountain pens with their initials can represent a deep and personal congratulations between a new law school graduate and a loved one.
Personal Travel Mug
You can also make sure your lawyer has a respectable mug for their coffee that will look good to clients and never be "borrowed" by colleagues in their law office. An elegant personal travel mug with the scales of justice and their name make a great law school graduation gift.
Custom Engraved Graduation Plaque
You can also give your young lawyer a "shingle" to "hang" with a beautiful wood, gold, or crystal desk plaque bearing their name and legal credentials.

Giving a Crystal Law School Graduation Award
Lastly, but never least, is a personalized crystal award. Your graduate has worked so hard to achieve this moment that they deserve more than a diploma. You can create a customized award representing their school, their legal specialties, and their hard work in beautifully engraved crystal. This gift may be even more meaningful if given as a group by friends and family before cutting their graduation cake.
A crystal award for graduating law school is the type of item that will sit proudly on your loved one's shelf or behind their desk for years to come. You can make this moment truly unforgettable with your selection of shape, color, style, emblem, and detail engraving.
