The earliest attorneys most likely kept track of their billable hours with a sun dial. The name of the Helios Rosewood Pen evokes the sun as a source and center of power and energy for the accomplished professional. A graceful work of modern sculpture, with the warmth of rosewood. This writing instrument is as beautifully balanced in your hand as it is suspended from its magnetic base.

It only took Dan Klau fourteen years of private practice—and thirteen of therapy (just kidding!)—to figure out that the best way to deal with the Sturm and Drang of the law was to find the humor in it. So that’s what he did. In his debut CD, The Billable Hour Blues, a collection of original songs and musical parodies, Dan sings about the trials and tribulations of being a young associate, lawyers who couldn’t give a client a straight answer if their lives depended on it, the joy of bringing someone to the brink of tears during cross-examination, and more. Whether you are looking for belly laughs, or just a few gentle chuckles to brighten your day, The Billable Hour Blues is sure to please.

The Bar & Grill Singers, all of whom are practicing attorneys in Austin, Texas, have entertained lawyers and non-lawyers since their 1991 debut in a one-performance musical revue. Now appearing year-round across the nation, the Singers spoof themselves and their profession with clever lyrics set to a variety of musical styles. They needle everything and everyone involved in the law, including clients, billing practices, legal ethics, bored jurors, and (gasp!) federal judges. The Singers write all of their own material, and arrange many of the songs.

A Time to Grill includes:

Appointed Forever

It's in His Briefs
(sample)

Man of Constant Workload

Mighty Law Firm in the Sky
