LEGES SINE DONUM VANAE: From a reader: What is a good law school graduation/passed the bar gift? Can be pop culture related. Figured you were the folks to ask.

I'd suggest Kermit Roosevelt's In the Shadow of the Law, except for its being something of a downer. But at that book suggests, the best gift to give a newly-practicing lawyer is the reminder that she remains in control of her own life and her career, to not judge her happiness based on whether she's meeting her employer's criteria for making it happy ... so how about a gift certificate to a good restaurant for dinner, so that she remembers to leave there everyone once in a while?

Your suggestions are, of course, welcome.
