Learned handmade plates. For all your law-themed collectible plate needs.

Some background. Etsy shop.

I didn't see this on the site or in that article, but the title of the series, for those interested, is a reference to Judge Learned Hand.

I personally think that these are alarmingly masturbatory, but I suppose everyone has to have a hobby.

I had a writing class with the gentleman involved. He's very talented, although we were all kinda blindsided when he brought in this project in lieu of a story.

While the idea is cool, these designs are just hideous. The justice ones are repulsive. Why did they choose this style?

Is it passe to declare 'eponysterical'? Because, really, it's so subtly magnificent :)

Hah! I didn't even think of that myself. Maybe I can request a plate on the Penge Bungalow murders.

I have to second Sangermaine. The art on those plates is objectionable.

In fact, if I were served food on one of those plates and ate enough to reveal the terrible art underneath, I think my stomach would order my undigested food reversed and remanded.

Maybe I should use these to study for the bar exam instead of BarBri.
