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

This. I've worked in offices ranging from small law, to mid law, to gov't., and it's pretty standard to have at least a law degree framed and hanging on the wall. In fact, I'm having trouble thinking of any attorneys I've met who DON'T have it.

i think it'd be highly douchey if ur a first year associate but otherwise, it's fine, because you're probably regularly meeting with clients and other associates in your office and need to impress. As a first year, not so much.

it's kinda to show off to your colleagues, but not really. everyone knows where you went from your bio. and then, people at the same firm have relatively similar credentials. in the end, putting a diploma on the wall is just what professionals do.

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.

Govt

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.

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.

Back when I was in Biglaw, one senior associate had his framed Order of the Coif certificate hanging on his wall.

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.
