The Lawyer Pen

[Ghost Plane]

If you want a court pen that is refined, yet easy to use with a 1 click cap, look into a Waterman Carene. I use cartridges for quick switch out. Quick writers and easy to cap and uncap without making a production number out of it.

 

If he's going to use it in his office, then go for the Conway Stewart. They're awesome pens. I'm partial to the IB nib for correspondence and the BB nib for sheer speed of ink splash.

 

If he's not used to fountain pens, try a B nib. They're fast, wet, and bold compared to ballpoints and rollerballs.

My lawyer has one, his first fountain pen, and absolutly loves it. I had told him about the professional series and this pen and he had me order one for him. IIRC, it didn't look like the pictures shown here, the pen is black of course with the "scales of justice" design, but they were worked tighter on the pen so it looked like a texture until you looked close. The funny thing is, when I was trying to show him a photo off the internet, several different designs showed up, none of which looked like the pen that came. I have never seen another Lawyers Pen in person.

 

The pen is very heavy and well balanced. I've only written a few short lines with it but it prompted me to buy a CS Winston because it was the closest non lawyer type pen we civilians were offered that pretty much matched size and weight. This pen by the way has a FINE nib and wrote perfectly out of the box.

 

So, this pen is used constantly, court, office, and personal use. And used hard and carried daily. I'm going to guess and say it's been in use for close to a year. And it impressed this guy so much, I never thought anything could pry the MB ballpen from his hands. This did.

Conway Stewart has made two Lawyer Pens and another one is in the making!

but what about ease of use? As a lawyer, he needs to be able to cap/uncap quickly, for quick notes. or would this be more of a show type of pen than a take-to-the-courtroom pen?

 

I am a lawyer and use fountain pens daily.

 

Ball point pens tire my hand and arm too quickly.

Many years ago we visited a Notary for several documents: Marriage contract, testaments and the contracts to buy a home. The Notary wrote his remarks in ballpoint. But when we signed the contracts he pulled out his fountainpen.

 

An important task like signing a contract needs a formal pen, a fountain pen. I was not heavily into FPs then, but it made me look again.

 

And I think the Lawyer Pen is perfectly suited for such a task.

I'm one of the few lawyers I know who uses a FP. I use several, though being an in-house person these days, and no long having an office of my own, I tend to leave my best pen - Dunhill Sidecar Chassis LE - at home.

 

I do rather like the Carbolic pen (it's a famous case in English law on the formation of contracts). Indeed, I think I prefer it to the CS Prof Series version.

 

Whether I choose to spend out on one, however, is another matter....

Thanks, all. I think I need to get my rising lawyer son a bespoke lawyer's pen. And CS is the base upon which to build it.
