I'm at an NYC v10 and my diploma is somewhere in a box in my parent's basement. I don't think I ever got a bar certificate........Mr. Blackacre wrote:Are you all serious?

Your diploma and bar certificate are probably going to be on your wall for decades to come. Getting them nicely framed costs a stupid amount but is worth it.grades?? wrote:I second a nice framing service. Not cheap, but certainly worth it.
If there's any possibility that they don't know how much framing costs - pretty sure mine were well in excess of $500 total - I'd ask for a gift voucher for a local framing store and you can pay the difference when you have the cash. I wouldn't want to be seen asking for something that's hundreds of dollars more than they were expecting to pay for a briefcase.
God I hate this profession sometimes. Please tell me you at least work in a NYC V5, and I can just disregard. Here I was thinking I could just buy some shitty frame for $20 and call it a day. For what it's worth, I guarantee you that the first thing I think of when walking into an attorney's office isn't "what a TTTerrible framing job. This person is worthless and deserves to be stuck doing doc review forever."

Is this really the case? Im thinking of framing my degree do NY big law firms generally frame?zot1 wrote:I think you need to go back to the whole convo.
If you work at a big law firm (and actually a good chunk of mid and small firms), the firm actually frames diplomas for you.
If you don't, the expense is on your own. I don't know when's the last time you bought a frame, but even if you go to marshalls, a cheap frame can be almost $100.
That's why, as a present for someone going non-private, I can't think of something better to gift than framing.
