Legal Themed Chess Set

approach the bench chess Legal Themed Chess Set
A courtroom is a place of legal battling, a tactical chess game of procedure and laws, of minds and reason. This Approach The Bench Chess Set takes the analogy and puts in the form of a chess game.

Each of these handsome chess sets is handmade in Pennsylvania. It’s even the official set of the Supreme Court Historical Society for whatever that’s worth.

Samsung design VP Chang Dong-hoon has refuted accusations that the Galaxy S III was designed "by lawyers." Responding to the reports that stated the new handset was tweaked to circumvent deliberate trade dress claims made by Cupertino in its lawsuit, he said that the redesign is part of the company's five-year plan rather than a sudden change. He went on to say that the flagship went through hundreds of iterations before the team alighted upon the model that will shortly make its way into sweaty palms all over the world.
