–
The
Zimbabwe
Parks
and
Wildlife
Management
Authority
(ZimParks)
has
warned
tourists
to
stay
away
from
the
waters
of
Maleme
Dam
at
Matopos
National
Park
after
a
high
school
pupil
and
amateur
rugby
player
drowned.
Mbongiseni
Moyo,
18,
a
Lower
Sixth
student
at
Gifford
High
School
was
reported
missing
on
December
14
after
taking
a
swim
in
the
dam.
His
body
was
found
a
day
later.
He
had
been
touring
the
park
with
a
group
of
about
30
players
from
Highlanders
Rugby
Club.
ZimParks
spokesman
Tinashe
Farawo
said:
“It
appears
at
some
point
the
group
decided
to
cool
down
by
swimming
at
Maleme
Dam.
“Mbongiseni
Moyo
was
subsequently
reported
missing
leading
to
a
search.
He
was
tragically
found
to
have
drowned.
“As
ZimParks
we
want
to
remind
tourists
that
swimming
at
Maleme
Dam
is
strictly
prohibited
because
there
are
crocodiles
there.”
Highlanders
Rugby
Club
said
in
a
statement:
“We
are
deeply
saddened
by
the
tragic
passing
of
young
and
promising
Gifford
High
School
and
Highlanders
Rugby
Club
player
Mbongiseni
Moyo.
“He
will
forever
be
in
our
hearts.
We
would
like
to
pass
our
condolences
to
the
Moyo
family.”

Zimbabwe
Republic
Police
(ZRP)
Commissioner
General
Godwin
Matanga
has
been
retired
as
police
boss
with
his
deputy
Stephen
Mutamba
promoted
to
replace
him.
The
retirement
takes
effect
after
duty
on
December
31,
2024,
according
to
Chief
Secretary
to
the
President
and
Cabinet
Martin
Rushwaya.
Matanga
replaced
Augustine
Chihuri,
who
fled
into
exile
in
2017,
and
has
overseen
the
police
during
politically
sensitive
periods.
The
police
boss
would
be
remembered
for
presiding
over
some
of
the
police
force’s
brutal
episodes
and
alleged
partisanship.
Under
Matanga,
a
lot
of
opposition
activists
and
human
rights
defenders
were
arrested
and
endured
long
incarceration
usually
for
allegedly
convening
illegal
gatherings
and
inciting
vilence.
Unconfirmed
reports
suggest
Matanga,
who
was
appointed
in
2018
following
the
ouster
of
long-time
President
Robert
Mugabe,
may
be
reassigned
to
a
diplomatic
role.
His
successor
Mutamba’s
appointment
is
with
effect
from
the
1st
of
January
2025.
Rushwaya,
in
a
statement,
said,
“In
terms
of
Section
221(1)
of
the
Constitution
of
Zimbabwe,
His
Excellency,
the
President
Cde
Dr
Emmerson
Dambudzo
Mnangagwa
has
appointed
Deputy
Commissioner
General
Stephen
Mutamba
as
Commissioner
General
of
the
Zimbabwe
Republic
Police.”

HARARE
—
President
Emmerson
Mnangagwa
on
Friday
launched
a
new
policy
that
will
allow
beneficiaries
of
land
taken
from
white
farmers
under
contentious
land
reforms
to
sell
it
and
to
be
able
to
borrow
from
banks
using
it
as
collateral.
This
marks
a
major
shift
in
Zimbabwe’s
land
policy.
Previously,
the
resettled
farmers
couldn’t
transfer
ownership
of
land.
However,
ownership
of
the
land
can
only
be
transferred
between
“indigenous
Zimbabweans,”
a
reference
to
black
Zimbabweans,
and
will
need
government
approval
under
the
new
policy.
Tens
of
thousands
of
black
people
took
over
white-owned
farms
after
then
President
Robert
Mugabe
initiated
the
land
reforms
in
2000.
Mugabe,
who
died
in
2019,
justified
the
reforms
as
being
necessary
to
redress
some
of
the
wrongs
of
colonialism
that
put
most
of
Zimbabwe’s
fertile
land
in
the
hands
of
a
few
white
farmers.
But
the
new
black
farmers
weren’t
allowed
to
sell
or
transfer
ownership
of
the
land,
which
was
deemed
to
belong
to
the
state.
As
a
result,
banks
were
reluctant
to
advance
loans
to
the
resettled
farmers,
who
couldn’t
use
their
land
as
collateral.
On
Friday,
a
handful
of
farmers,
including
Mnangagwa,
received
title
deeds
to
the
farms
they
are
occupying.
Mnangagwa
also
announced
a
technical
committee
to
spearhead
the
process
for
other
resettled
black
farmers.
Speaking
at
an
event
held
at
his
farm
near
Kwekwe,
Mnangagwa
said
the
policy
would
help
“unlock
the
value”
of
the
land
and
make
it
“bankable
and
transferable.”
About
4,500
white
farmers
who
owned
the
majority
of
prime
farmland
were
removed
from
their
farms,
often
forcibly
by
violent
mobs
led
by
veterans
of
the
country’s
1970s
independence
war
more
than
20
years
ago.
Some
farmers
and
their
workers
died
or
were
seriously
injured
in
the
violence,
which
included
beatings
and
rape,
according
to
Human
Rights
Watch.
The
land
seizures
badly
impacted
commercial
farming,
forcing
a
country
that
was
a
key
regional
food
producer
and
exporter
to
rely
on
assistance
from
donors.
Zimbabwe’s
agriculture
sector
has
rebounded
in
recent
years,
but
droughts
are
now
the
main
challenge.
Securing
finance
has
been
another
problem
that
Mnangagwa
hopes
could
be
solved
by
the
new
policy
of
issuing
title
deeds
to
black
farmers.
Secure
land
tenure
means
“our
farmers
can
access
credit
facilities”
and
it
“lifts
many
out
of
poverty
into
prosperity,”
Mnangagwa
said.
In
October,
Finance
Minister
Mthuli
Ncube
said
that
Zimbabwe
would
compensate
local
and
foreign
white
farmers
who
lost
land
and
property
in
the
farm
seizures.

It’s
the
holiday
season
and
time
yet
again
to
buy
gifts
for
the
lawyers
(or
law
students)
in
your
lives.
And
while
you
might
be
tempted
to
go
with
a
lump
of
coal,
let’s
give
the
attorneys
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
and
make
sure
they’re
treated
right
this
season.
Below
we’ve
gathered
gift
ideas
into
some
broad
categories
that
lawyers
might
enjoy.

Do

on

Of

you
do,
you’re
buying
for
an

Grab
a
nice

deposition.
The
Originalism
Trap
by
Madiba
K.
Dennie
of
Balls
and
Strikes
explores
the
dubious
value
of
“originalism”
as
a
judicial
philosophy
and
outlines
a
path
for
constitutional
interpretation
more
faithful
to
the
Reconstruction
amendments.
Kathryn
Rubino

with
the
author
here.
Murder
the
Truth
is

banger
from
David
Enrich,
author
of

detailing
the

institutions
fueling
the
Trump

This
time,
the
New

editor
digs
into
the
conservative
legal
movement’s
mounting
assault
on
New

of

Mary
Anne

produced
Fearless

(featured

a

highlighting
the
First

flawed
framework
for
promoting
a
free
and
fair
democracy.
On
the
fiction
side,
Devil’s

(chat

focuses
on
a
small-town
lawyer
forced
to
represent
a
client
she
can’t
stand.
Meanwhile
Just
One
Look
is
a
thriller
set
during
a
document
review.
If
you’re
buying
for
an
ATL
fan,
several
of
our
columnists
have
books
too.
Your
Debt-Free
JD
by
Jonathan
Wolf
guides
prospective
law
students
through
the
process
of
getting
a
degree
that
doesn’t
break
the
bank
while
D.W.
Randolph’s
Big
Law
Confidential
delves
into
what
it’s
really
like
to
work
in
Biglaw
for
those
already
weighing
their
career
path.
Tahmina
Watson’s
The
Startup
Visa
probably
isn’t
a
gift
(or
maybe
it
is…
who
am
I
to
judge
the
level
of
sentimentality
in
your
gift-giving
relationship)
but
it’s
a
great
resource
for
immigration
law.
With
the
legal
industry
slowly
returning
to
the
road,
this
is
an
amazing
gift
for
any
traveling
attorney.
It’s
a
portable
monitor
extension,
giving
them
the
multiple
monitor
lifestyle
from
their
laptop.
You
can
find
a
number
of
models
based
on
the
size
of
the
laptop
involved.
Speaking
of
travel,
these
are
only
a
couple
of
many
options,
but
consider
giving
the
gift
of
noise-cancelling
earbuds
or
headphones.
Or
you
can
get
some
Airpods
without
the
cool
firm
branding.
At
a
much,
much,
much
higher
price
point,
nothing
keeps
their
work
more
confidential
while
traveling
than
an
Apple
Vision
Pro.
If
they’re
working
off
of
a
Mac
the
device
can
seamlessly
mirror
that
screen
into
the
visor
to
prevent
nosy
neighbors
from
seeing
anything.
The
legal
profession
has
already
cut
a
lot
of
paper
out
of
its
workflow,
but
there
are
several
tools
out
there
to
move
notes
to
the
digital
world
ranging
from
the
eminently
affordable
Rocketbook
to
the
fully
featured
ReMarkable2.
Have
you
considered
how
many
devices
attorneys
need?
If
you
have,
then
you
might
imagine
the
home
office
is
a
tangle
of
power
cords
befitting
an
Aliens
set.
This
can
help
with
a
whopping
ELEVEN
OUTLETS.
Or
maybe
they
don’t
need
outlets
at
all
with
a
wireless
charging
mouse
pad.
And
if
they
lose
those
devices,
consider
some
Airtags,
the
tracking
devices
that
make
sure
nothing
important
is
ever
lost
like
keys
or
briefcases
full
of
sensitive
client
documents.
We
also
still
love
the
Ember
Mug
allows
the
user
to
set
the
ideal
temperature
for
their
coffee
or
tea
—
and
then
keeps
it
there.
The
“ugly
sweater
party”
phenomenon
isn’t
exactly
my
cup
of
tea,
but
if
you
know
a
lawyer
who
enjoys
them,
this
“Allegedly”
themed
sweater
is
pretty
amazing.
It
sure
beats
putting
“allegedly”
on
some
other
articles
of
clothing.
There’s
also
a
“Fa
Law
Law
Law
Law”
First
Monday
in
October
from
Fort
Circle
games
“allows
1-4
players
to
experience
the
history
of
the
Supreme
Court
of
the
United
States
from
1789
through
2009
in
two
hours
of
gameplay.”
The
game
will
not
ship
until
2025,
but
if
you’re
getting
it
this
holiday
season,
the
developers
offer
a
“printed Writ
of
Habeas
Ludum”
that
you
can
deliver
in
the
meantime.
While
on
the
subject
of
Fort
Circle,
they
also
have
a
game
covering
the
suffrage
movement
called
Votes
for
Women
that
you
can
get
now.
I
Dissent and
Capital
Punishment
fall
within
the
“Cards
Against
Humanity”
style
party
game
genre
but
with
a
legal
twist.
FOOD
&
DRINK
Returning
to
the
office
means
returning
to
the
kitchen
or
cafeteria
stocked
with
goodies.
But
in
the
hybrid
working
world,
lawyers
still
have
to
handle
their
own
snacks
some
days.
So
how
about
a
super
mini-fridge
to
keep
the
home
office
stocked.
It’s
portable
and
plugs
in
to
keep
things
cool
(or
warm).
It’s
not
much
bigger
than
a
lunchbox,
but
it
can
keep
them
covered
for
the
day.
What
better
way
to
get
into
the
holiday
spirit
than
to
enjoy
some
holiday
spirits?
Caskers,
founded
by
Harvard
Law
grads,
curates
all
varieties
of
the
best
craft
spirits
from
around
the
world
and
offers
big
discounts.
If
they
need
a
home
desk
—
which
most
lawyers
probably
have
by
now,
but
law
grads
starting
new
jobs
in
2025
might
not
—
this
is
a
nice
entry-level
home
option
that
gets
the
job
done
without
overwhelming
the
studio
apartment.
Though
nicer
options
are
available.
And
then
there
are
Funko
Pops.
You
know,
those
big
head
toys
that
seem
to
be
everywhere
these
days.
They
even
make
Golden
Girls
Funko
Pops
now,
which
seems
like
the
border
of
market
saturation.
This
Matt
Murdock
one
is
a
legit
collectors
item
at
this
point.
There’s
a
Citadel-dwelling
Lawyer
Morty
from
Rick
and
Morty. For
that
matter,
Abraham
Lincoln
was
a
lawyer.
Someone
at
CafePress
has
a
billable
hours
clock
available
to
mix
decor
with
some
wit.
Luggage
The
essential
gift
for
a
traveling
lawyer!
The
ScanFast
Briefcase
from
Mobile
Edge
is
a
TSA-compliant
laptop
bag
that
allows
the
traveler
to
keep
their
laptop
inside
their
bag
while
passing
through
TSA
security
checkpoints.
This
makes
traveling
with
a
laptop
simple
while
keeping
the
laptop
secure.
For
a
less
standard
design,
check
out
this
option
(which
also
comes
in
three
other
color
combinations).
The
bag
is
still
TSA-compliant
and
boasts
rich
pink
suede
and
brown
faux-leather
exterior
highlighted
by
a
bright
color-accented
satin
lining.
A
matching
shoulder
strap,
separate
zippered
workstation
for
files,
and
a
trolley
strap
for
rolling
luggage
included.

noise-cancelling
earbuds
or
headphones.
Or
you
can
get
some
Airpods
without
the
cool
firm
branding.
At
a
much,
much,
much
higher
price
point,
nothing
keeps
their
work
more
confidential
while
traveling
than
an
Apple
Vision
Pro.
If
they’re
working
off
of
a
Mac
the
device
can
seamlessly
mirror
that
screen
into
the
visor
to
prevent
nosy
neighbors
from
seeing
anything.
The
legal
profession
has
already
cut
a
lot
of
paper
out
of
its
workflow,
but
there
are
several
tools
out
there
to
move
notes
to
the
digital
world
ranging
from
the
eminently
affordable
Rocketbook
to
the
fully
featured
ReMarkable2.
Have
you
considered
how
many
devices
attorneys
need?
If
you
have,
then
you
might
imagine
the
home
office
is
a
tangle
of
power
cords
befitting
an
Aliens
set.
This
can
help
with
a
whopping
ELEVEN
OUTLETS.
Or
maybe
they
don’t
need
outlets
at
all
with
a
wireless
charging
mouse
pad.
And
if
they
lose
those
devices,
consider
some
Airtags,
the
tracking
devices
that
make
sure
nothing
important
is
ever
lost
like
keys
or
briefcases
full
of
sensitive
client
documents.
We
also
still
love
the
Ember
Mug
allows
the
user
to
set
the
ideal
temperature
for
their
coffee
or
tea
—
and
then
keeps
it
there.
The
“ugly
sweater
party”
phenomenon
isn’t
exactly
my
cup
of
tea,
but
if
you
know
a
lawyer
who
enjoys
them,
this
“Allegedly”
themed
sweater
is
pretty
amazing.
It
sure
beats
putting
“allegedly”
on
some
other
articles
of
clothing.
There’s
also
a
“Fa
Law
Law
Law
Law”
First
Monday
in
October
from
Fort
Circle
games
“allows
1-4
players
to
experience
the
history
of
the
Supreme
Court
of
the
United
States
from
1789
through
2009
in
two
hours
of
gameplay.”
The
game
will
not
ship
until
2025,
but
if
you’re
getting
it
this
holiday
season,
the
developers
offer
a
“printed Writ
of
Habeas
Ludum”
that
you
can
deliver
in
the
meantime.
While
on
the
subject
of
Fort
Circle,
they
also
have
a
game
covering
the
suffrage
movement
called
Votes
for
Women
that
you
can
get
now.
I
Dissent and
Capital
Punishment
fall
within
the
“Cards
Against
Humanity”
style
party
game
genre
but
with
a
legal
twist.
FOOD
&
DRINK
Returning
to
the
office
means
returning
to
the
kitchen
or
cafeteria
stocked
with
goodies.
But
in
the
hybrid
working
world,
lawyers
still
have
to
handle
their
own
snacks
some
days.
So
how
about
a
super
mini-fridge
to
keep
the
home
office
stocked.
It’s
portable
and
plugs
in
to
keep
things
cool
(or
warm).
It’s
not
much
bigger
than
a
lunchbox,
but
it
can
keep
them
covered
for
the
day.
What
better
way
to
get
into
the
holiday
spirit
than
to
enjoy
some
holiday
spirits?
Caskers,
founded
by
Harvard
Law
grads,
curates
all
varieties
of
the
best
craft
spirits
from
around
the
world
and
offers
big
discounts.
If
they
need
a
home
desk
—
which
most
lawyers
probably
have
by
now,
but
law
grads
starting
new
jobs
in
2025
might
not
—
this
is
a
nice
entry-level
home
option
that
gets
the
job
done
without
overwhelming
the
studio
apartment.
Though
nicer
options
are
available.
And
then
there
are
Funko
Pops.
You
know,
those
big
head
toys
that
seem
to
be
everywhere
these
days.
They
even
make
Golden
Girls
Funko
Pops
now,
which
seems
like
the
border
of
market
saturation.
This
Matt
Murdock
one
is
a
legit
collectors
item
at
this

There’s
a
Citadel-dwelling
Lawyer

The
essential
gift
for
a

lawyer!
The

a
TSA-compliant
laptop
bag
that
allows
the
traveler
to
keep
their

inside
their

through
TSA
security
checkpoints.

For

check
out
this
option
(which
also
comes
in
three
other
color
combinations).
The

boasts
rich

they’re

coffee
or
tea
—
and
then
keeps
it
there.
The
“ugly
sweater
party”
phenomenon
isn’t
exactly
my
cup
of
tea,
but
if
you
know
a
lawyer
who
enjoys
them,
this
“Allegedly”
themed
sweater
is
pretty
amazing.
It
sure
beats
putting
“allegedly”
on
some
other
articles
of
clothing.
There’s
also
a
“Fa
Law

Law
Law”
First
Monday
in
October
from
Fort

games
“allows
1-4
players
to
experience
the
history
of
the
Supreme
Court
of
the
United
States
from
1789
through
2009
in
two
hours
of
gameplay.”
The
game
will
not
ship
until
2025,
but
if
you’re
getting
it
this
holiday
season,
the
developers
offer
a
“printed Writ
of
Habeas
Ludum”
that
you
can
deliver
in
the
meantime.
While
on
the
subject
of
Fort
Circle,
they
also
have
a
game
covering
the
suffrage
movement
called
Votes
for
Women
that
you
can
get
now.
I
Dissent and
Capital
Punishment
fall
within
the
“Cards
Against
Humanity”
style
party
game
genre
but
with
a
legal
twist.
FOOD
&
DRINK
Returning
to
the
office
means
returning
to
the
kitchen
or
cafeteria
stocked
with
goodies.
But
in
the
hybrid
working
world,
lawyers
still
have
to
handle
their
own
snacks
some
days.
So
how
about
a
super
mini-fridge
to
keep
the
home
office
stocked.
It’s
portable
and
plugs
in
to
keep
things
cool
(or
warm).
It’s
not
much
bigger
than
a
lunchbox,
but
it
can
keep
them
covered
for
the
day.
What
better
way
to
get
into
the
holiday
spirit
than
to
enjoy
some
holiday
spirits?
Caskers,
founded
by
Harvard
Law
grads,
curates
all
varieties
of
the
best
craft
spirits
from
around
the
world
and
offers
big
discounts.
If
they
need
a
home
desk
—
which
most
lawyers
probably
have
by
now,
but
law
grads
starting
new
jobs
in
2025
might
not
—
this
is
a
nice
entry-level
home
option
that
gets
the
job
done
without
overwhelming
the
studio
apartment.
Though
nicer
options
are
available.
And
then
there
are
Funko
Pops.
You
know,
those
big
head
toys
that
seem
to
be
everywhere
these
days.
They
even
make
Golden
Girls
Funko
Pops
now,
which
seems
like
the
border
of
market
saturation.
This
Matt

one
is
a
legit
collectors
item
at
this

There’s
a

The
essential
gift
for
a
traveling
lawyer!
The

Briefcase
from

is
a
TSA-compliant
laptop
bag
that
allows
the
traveler
to
keep
their
laptop
inside
their

while
passing
through
TSA
security
checkpoints.
This

traveling
with

For
a

design,
check
out
this
option
(which
also
comes
in
three
other
color
combinations).
The

is
still
TSA-compliant
and
boasts
rich
pink

any

cool
holiday
gift
ideas
for
attorneys,
send
them
our
way!
We’re
always
looking
to
add
more
to
the
annual

It’s
the
holiday
season
and
time
yet
again
to
buy
gifts
for
the
lawyers
(or
law
students)
in
your
lives.
And
while
you
might
be
tempted
to
go
with
a

let’s
give
the
attorneys
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
and
make
sure
they’re
treated
right
this
season.
Below
we’ve
gathered
gift

into
some
broad

that
lawyers
might
enjoy.

you
have
a

on
your

Of

you
do,
you’re
buying
for
an

a
nice
book
to
curl
up
with
this
holiday
season
—
or
to
read
on
their
next
flight
to
some
far-flung
deposition.
The
Originalism
Trap
by
Madiba
K.
Dennie
of
Balls
and

explores
the
dubious
value
of
“originalism”
as
a
judicial
philosophy
and
outlines
a
path
for
constitutional
interpretation
more
faithful
to
the
Reconstruction
amendments.

through

D.W.

Big

it’s

in

for

The
Startup
Visa
probably
isn’t
a
gift
(or
maybe
it
is…
who
am
I
to
judge
the
level
of
sentimentality
in
your
gift-giving
relationship)
but
it’s
a
great
resource
for
immigration
law.
With
the
legal
industry
slowly
returning
to
the
road,
this
is
an
amazing
gift
for
any
traveling
attorney.
It’s
a
portable
monitor
extension,
giving
them
the
multiple
monitor
lifestyle
from
their
laptop.
You
can
find
a
number
of
models
based
on
the
size
of
the
laptop
involved.
Speaking
of
travel,
these
are
only
a
couple
of
many
options,
but
consider
giving
the
gift
of
noise-cancelling
earbuds
or
headphones.
Or
you
can
get
some
Airpods
without
the
cool
firm
branding.
At
a
much,
much,
much
higher
price
point,
nothing
keeps
their
work
more
confidential
while
traveling
than
an
Apple
Vision
Pro.
If
they’re
working
off
of
a
Mac
the
device
can
seamlessly
mirror
that
screen
into
the
visor
to
prevent
nosy
neighbors
from
seeing
anything.
The
legal
profession
has
already
cut
a
lot
of
paper
out

its
workflow,

there

several

out
there
to
move
notes
to
the
digital
world
ranging
from
the
eminently
affordable
Rocketbook
to
the
fully
featured
ReMarkable2.
Have
you
considered
how
many
devices
attorneys
need?
If
you
have,
then
you
might
imagine
the
home
office
is
a
tangle
of
power
cords
befitting
an
Aliens
set.
This
can
help
with
a
whopping
ELEVEN
OUTLETS.
Or
maybe
they
don’t
need
outlets
at
all
with
a
wireless
charging
mouse
pad.
And
if
they
lose
those
devices,
consider
some
Airtags,
the
tracking
devices
that
make
sure
nothing
important
is
ever
lost
like
keys
or
briefcases
full
of
sensitive
client
documents.
We
also
still
love
the

the

their
own
snacks
some
days.
So
how
about
a
super
mini-fridge
to
keep
the
home
office
stocked.
It’s
portable
and
plugs
in
to
keep
things
cool
(or
warm).
It’s
not
much
bigger
than
a
lunchbox,
but
it
can
keep
them
covered
for
the
day.
What
better
way
to
get
into
the
holiday
spirit
than
to
enjoy
some
holiday
spirits?
Caskers,
founded
by
Harvard
Law
grads,
curates
all
varieties
of
the
best
craft
spirits
from
around
the
world
and
offers
big
discounts.
If
they
need
a
home
desk
—
which
most
lawyers
probably
have
by
now,
but
law
grads
starting
new
jobs
in
2025
might
not
—
this
is
a
nice
entry-level
home
option
that
gets
the
job
done
without
overwhelming
the
studio
apartment.
Though
nicer
options
are
available.
And
then
there
are
Funko
Pops.
You
know,
those
big
head
toys
that
seem
to
be
everywhere
these
days.
They
even
make
Golden
Girls
Funko
Pops
now,
which
seems
like
the
border
of
market
saturation.
This
Matt
Murdock
one
is
a
legit
collectors
item
at
this
point.
There’s
a
Citadel-dwelling
Lawyer
Morty
from
Rick
and
Morty. For
that
matter,
Abraham
Lincoln
was
a
lawyer.
Someone
at
CafePress
has
a
billable
hours
clock
available
to
mix
decor
with
some
wit.
Luggage
The
essential
gift
for
a
traveling
lawyer!
The
ScanFast
Briefcase
from
Mobile
Edge
is
a
TSA-compliant
laptop
bag
that
allows
the
traveler
to
keep
their
laptop
inside
their
bag
while
passing
through
TSA
security
checkpoints.
This
makes
traveling
with
a
laptop
simple
while
keeping
the
laptop
secure.
For
a
less
standard
design,
check
out
this
option
(which
also
comes
in
three
other
color
combinations).
The
bag
is
still
TSA-compliant
and
boasts
rich
pink
suede
and
brown
faux-leather
exterior
highlighted
by
a
bright
color-accented
satin
lining.
A
matching
shoulder
strap,
separate
zippered
workstation
for
files,
and
a
trolley
strap
for
rolling
luggage
included.
