Law school is tough. Passing the bar is even harder. Out of all professional exams, anything related to the law is going to be exceptionally tougher to pass. Law school is not only expensive but highly competitive. Graduates of high-rated law schools have the best chance at being chosen for a job after graduating, sothe competition to get into law school is fierce<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to US News, the top ten law schools in the U.S. are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Yale University<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Stanford University<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Harvard University <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Columbia University<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.University of Chicago<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. New York University<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. University of Pennsylvania (Carey)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. University of Virginia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. University of California at Berkeley<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Duke University<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting into law school is tough; graduating is a massive accomplishment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most aspiring law school students apply to an average of six law schools and around 20,000 applicants are rejected each year. There are more than 230 individual law schools in the United States. Although 40,000 new students are admitted each year, only 34,000 graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most law school programs span three years and cover the basics for all types of law. However, some schools have a special area of focus like healthcare law or environmental law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what law school your loved one has graduated from, here are seven ways to honor and celebrate their achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Gift your loved one a custom lawyer\u2019s creed gift plaque<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Customized plaques hold a special place in people\u2019s hearts; they always remember who gave them the plaque and feel that appreciation each time they look at their plaque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gifting a <\/a>custom lawyer\u2019s creed gift plaque<\/a> is one of the best ways to recognize your recent law school graduate. The plaque depicts two pillars on either side with the scales of justice at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This particular plaque comes with a black stand fashioned to look like courthouse steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underneath the personal inscription is the lawyer\u2019s creed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA LAWYER\u2019S CREED<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OF PROFESSIONALISM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a lawyer I will endeavor to make our legal system work fairly and efficiently. To that end I pledge to act professionally, with civility and integrity; to abide by the letter and spirit of the disciplinary standards applicable to all lawyers; to adhere to this Creed of Professionalism when dealing with my clients, courts, attorneys and other participants in the legal system; and to serve the general public and our system of justice.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalized plaques make excellent law school graduation gifts from parents and significant others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Take your law school grad out to dinner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing like being taken out to a good meal to celebrate three or more years of hard work. Take your graduate out to a fancy restaurant with high-quality food and celebrate. Take them anywhere they want to go and spare no expense. Soon, they\u2019ll be taking you <\/em>out to fancy dinners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Buy your graduate a funny gift<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Law school is serious business. Give your graduate a gift that will make them laugh, like <\/a>this mug<\/a> that reads, \u201cI\u2019m a lawyer, to save time, let\u2019s just assume I\u2019m right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other funny mugs and t-shirts you can find have sayings like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI put the lit in litigate\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m billing you for this conversation\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf it takes 3 years to get there, it better be one hell of a bar\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOpposing counsel\u2019s tears\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u2019t find a funny gift with a saying you like, create your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Ask if they\u2019d like to watch court proceedings with you<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on how big of a break your graduate wants to take from the law, they might find it fun to watch court with you. Court proceedings are generally open to the public and you can observe either in person or through Zoom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give them a chance to show off their knowledge of the law. They might find it fun to watch some hearings and tell you what they think as the hearing moves along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Gift them a prayer plaque<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If standard plaques aren\u2019t good enough, give your graduate <\/a>the lawyer\u2019s prayer gift plaque<\/a>. This uniquely-shaped plaque looks like a crystal pillar with an angled top sliced off in the shape of a diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your personalized inscription will go on the top in the diamond-shaped area and the lawyer\u2019s prayer will be inscribed on the inside, making it visible through the plaque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can customize the inscription with any prayer you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

6. Have a simple backyard barbecue party<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your graduate isn\u2019t up for a massive celebration, host a party in your backyard and bring out the barbecue. Sometimes a quiet evening with a small group of friends and family is the best way to celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set up a barbecue \u2013 by the pool if you have one \u2013 and a fire pit. If you have a surround sound system, move some speakers outside for the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After everyone has a chance to grab some food and mingle, give a toast to your new law school graduate to appreciate them for all their hard work. They\u2019ll love feeling recognized and having all their hard work recognized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Give your graduate a gag gift<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing lawyers hate more than being asked for free legal advice, as if they\u2019re sources for endless knowledge on every law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play a prank on your graduate by having everyone at their party ask them for free legal advice regarding an obviously made-up, silly situation. Make up stories that start out sounding legitimate, but quickly dive into nonsense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, tell them you were babysitting someone\u2019s dog and the dog escaped and bit another dog and you\u2019re worried about your liability. Then tell them the dog retaliated by sending a gang of monkeys to your house who stole all your cookies and you want to know if you can sue the dog for theft. Do whatever it takes to make them laugh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plaques make the perfect personalized law school graduation gifts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With endless possibilities for gifts in the world, personalized plaques are high at the top of the list for graduates. Plaques are classy, sophisticated, and professional. They symbolize a life-altering achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mass-produced commercial gifts are a dime a dozen and often get tossed into the trash or donated. Personalized gifts are treasured forever. People appreciate the time and effort it takes to search for and create a personalized gift, so they tend to have more meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For recent law school grads, receiving a personalized plaque will be a gift they\u2019ll treasure forever. <\/a>Check out our graduate gift plaque collection<\/a> for more cool designs and shapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
