The Latin word LEX is often defined in dictionaries with a simple three-letter word - LAW. The Conklin LEX collection of writing instruments draws inspiration from the rich history of the legal profession, with its roots in Roman law, which made many contributions to modern society that are often taken for granted today. The Conklin Lex family of writing instruments make the perfect gift for anyone just entering the legal profession, or as an elegant, everyday tool for even a seasoned advocate. Each pen features a European-grade, hand-crafted smooth resin. The shiny black body is accented with 18KT gilded rose gold elements symbolizing crucial legal symbols; the law book, chapter signs, the scales of justice, the wooden gavel, and the courthouse. The top of the cap boasts an 18KT gilded rose gold coin, bearing the symbol of Themis, the Greek goddess of justice, engraved with the quote "iustitia est caeca" (Justice is blind) and the pen's name "LEX."
