November 20th, 2009

You can now buy any Courtoon, printed on photo-quality glossy paper, which I will hand sign and ship in a matte-style frame that is suitable for hanging or placing on a desk (or throwing at a summer associate). This makes a great unique holiday gift for lawyers, judges, and law students. The total price for each is $35. Free shipping anywhere in the continental U.S. (11-11-09 update: and Canada)
11-12-09 Update: Here’s a quick picture (taken with my kodak disc blackberry camera) of a framed Courtoon. The frame is 8×10 (5×7 interior).

Courtoons are back. (At least for today.) Thank you for all the comments regarding the Break in the Action. I found the comment by Fordham Law ‘10 at 6:50 about starting a “Mills Legal Fund” amusing, but it also got me thinking . . . Read the rest of this entry »
The streak of a Courtoon every weekday for 34 weeks has come to an end. (I actually thought I might run out of ideas around week 3.) I will continue to post Courtoons as I generate them here and there, so continue to check in. Also, a number of people have asked for signed prints, and I am working on an addition to the site to enable orders. I’m also hoping to create a Courtoons book, which I intend to be well suited for law offices (or perhaps for lining bird cages).
But why, you ask, is the streak ending? In short: Not enough hours in the day. As The Mills Law Office LLC approaches its one-year anniversary, a significant amount of time is required of its managing partner (me) and janitor (me). The good news is that things are busy; the bad news is that Courtoons has to take the hit. (Of course, for those who think Courtoons absolutely suck, this is a win-win. See, e.g., Anonymous Commenter #11 v. Courtoons, 12 U.S. 345 (AboveTheLaw Aug. 6, 2009).)
Finally, thank you for following Courtoons. There were many times (usually around 11:43 pm on a Wednesday while cursing out a blank piece of paper) that I thought Courtoons might end, but remembering a comment or e-mail motivated me to keep them coming. Very appreciated.
