Starting a new job at the big law firm? Make sure you read this coloring book for lawyers. Need a little background material for your next legal discussion? Bone up with Learning About the Law, Learning More About the Law, and Learning About Judges (also available in Spanish). For law enforcement information, try Law & Order, an Adventure to Color. [most links pdf]

Monju, I saw that you said you were clerking. I hope you don't look like the clerk in the "Learning About the Law" coloring book. That guy looks like the Zodiac Killer or something.

Brandon Bird, the artist who did the Law and Order coloring book, also made a set of Valentine's Day cards which I handed out at school. All the lovely ladies appreciated the SVU love.

The Coloring Book for Lawyers has been printed out and left on my boss's desk. Thank you, m_b.

Why does the link lead me to a pdf that is nothing but code?

Another link, in case the above isn't working for everyone.

I love this.

Ber, make sure your acrobat is up to date and trained in the latest circus2.0 acts.

Is the pink pill a reference to Valium, perhaps? I get the impression that it's supposed to be something specific - there weren't so many drugs back then.

There's also The Family Circus Visits the Courts (pdf), which probably was not written just to provide easy material for the Dysfunctional Family Circus.

Color my underpants important.

Thanks, monju! I'll be at BIGLAW this summer, and I'm guessing some coloring books are exactly what I'll need to fill my days. I even got free crayons during recruiting season!
