i don't think i've noticed anyone who has this in their office
i've interned at some places where people not only have thus but have several certificates on their wall. i think they have ones for the courts they are admitted to. am i remembering wrong? because it seems idiotic that anyone would do this and i don't even know if there is anything you can frame in terms of court admissions so maybe i am remembering wrong |

Date: May 9th, 2012 11:27 AM Author: lascivious point Greetings, It does open up avenues for conversation. When you go in for a meeting w/someone in his office, first thing you should do when walking in is quickly scan the room for little things like diploma, pictures of vacation, family, etc., so you can make small talk. |

Yes
both degrees
court admissions
State bar admissions (2 states)
Mock/Moot-related stuff.
When I was working as a law clerk for a judge I didn't have shit up on the walls.
It wasn't until I got this gig that I actually started framing shit.
It really varies amongst the other lawyers in my office. Some just don't give a shit. |

Date: May 9th, 2012 11:28 AM Author: lascivious point Greetings, I'd have my federal court admissions up, but the certificates are ugly as FUCK and I don't litigate no mo. Do your admissions look good? The TX bar admission looks really awesome, but the federal ones in TX are ugly as FUARK. At least the ones I got, maybe it is or used to be different. |

Hardly anyone has them up here. |

Everyone, including those who had photos of the judge they clerked for and/or pro bono appreciation certificates hanging on their walls, thought that was ridiculous. |
