Comments for Gifts for Law Students http://giftsforlawstudents.com Gift Ideas from Law School to Lawyer Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:40:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Comment on Lawyer Gag Gifts: Funny gifts for the legally inclined by Amanda http://giftsforlawstudents.com/gifts_by_type/laywer_gag_gifts/funny-lawyer-gag-gifts.html/comment-page-1#comment-974 Amanda Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:40:48 +0000 http://giftsforlawstudents.com/?p=3#comment-974 Hi Emily, Thanks for the great gift ideas - my fiance and I just finished law school in May, and he just got a great job, so your blog was quite helpful! Re: Gag gifts...have you ever heard of the monkey scribe voicemail? It's this awful voice message from one lawyer to another in which the person leaving the message is screaming obscenities and eventually calls the other lawyer a "monkey scribe." Anyway, someone turned it into a website, and they sell merchandise. Here's the site: http://www.cafepress.com/themonkeyscribe Many of the items for sale are a bit on the offensive side (i.e. coffee mugs that say "I'm billing you for this" and shirts with jokes about how lawyers are drunks etc.), but I suppose that is the point of a gag gift. By the way, I'm not affiliated with the monkey scribe people, I just thought it was pretty funny. Thanks again! Amanda Hi Emily,

Thanks for changing it. It really wasn't a big deal, and my intention was to be more informative than anything else.....but now when I Google my name, this post comes up!!! Is there a way my note could be removed? If so, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot. A. Rundbaken Hi,

Sat, 11 Dec 2010 16:48:27 +0000 http://giftsforlawstudents.com/?page_id=2#comment-812 Hi Ann, You make a good point, and I apologize if I've offended you or anyone else. I've corrected the description to "unless you're training to be a climbing porter", which is really what I meant to refer to, not the ethnic group. In regards to a gift for your nephew, I'll see if I can come up with some additional non-book ideas in the sub-$50 range. I've heard the same feedback from others: once you begin law school there's rarely such a thing as "fun reading", so non-required books aren't always welcome (though they can be great for easing the tradition pre- and post-law school). Stay tuned for updates to that list! ~Emily Hi Ann,

So your site is perfect for a situation such as mine. But under "students on a budget", you have this bag for carrying books. In the description it says "unless you're training to be a sherpa.....". I know that you innocently wrote that, but did you know that that can actually be offensive to people such as myself who have a person from Nepal in the family, or are of Nepali heritage. Actually, people don't train to be sherpas......they are born a Sherpa. Its one of the ethnic groups in Nepal. With more Sherpas immigrating to the West, I suppose that the odds of having one reading your website are also increasing. Who knew! I still don't know what to get Mike, because I don't think he reads much, other than what he has to read, and I already gave him "Paper Chase" Did you know about the "Passing the Bar" game? Don't know if its on your site or not, because I saw it somewhere else. Look for it if you don't have it. But I doubt Mike would play that. Your site is a great idea though. Sincerely, Ann Rundbaken Emily,
