Fine, maybe not just law professors, but there aren’t too many other people who embrace the totemic worship of professional ephemera quite like professors. And a gavel? Please. This is the sort of saccharine (literally in this case) nerdgasm that elicits eyerolls from the properly cynical members of the legal profession.
But Daniel Rodriguez of Northwestern has properly challenged us with this tweet of a law school graduation cake for the ages, so we must engage:
I dare anyone to say that this isn't the greatest law graduation cake ever! @NorthwesternLaw @atlblog @lawprofblawg @ElieNYC pic.twitter.com/g8mm2TTxWY

Schenck Price Works Smarter with Lexis+ AI and Protégé
LexisNexis sat down with John Ursin, Managing Partner at Schenck Price, to learn how the firm is using legal AI to strengthen client service and daily legal work.
He dares us to say this isn’t the best cake ever, eh? It’s definitely more creative than some legal cakes out there:
Talk about a salute to pure textualism.
AI Built for Litigation. Verified by Design.
Grounded in authoritative content and verified at every step, Protégé is the only legal AI tool that delivers work you can trust—without exception.
The Northwestern cake, on the other hand shows some real effort. As someone who has watched Duff Goldman’s show on the Food Network twice, I feel fully qualified to deliver a review of this cake. Please deliver a slice to our offices posthaste.
