Gifts from law departments to their members and friends

At offsite retreats or for special occasions, law department members often receive items that memorialize the event (See my post of Sept. 22, 2005 on memorable retreats, and my article.). During my consulting odyssey, I too have collected my share of these corporate trinkets.

Some that come to mind, and which I still wear, see, or enjoy, include my Timberland wallet, Emory t-shirt, Boeing Lucite pyramid, Colgate-Palmolive toothbrush-and-toothpaste tie, Diageo wine, Pharmacia notepad, Lucent Law Conference pullover, MetLife warmer, and Arthur Andersen shirt.
