Harvard Law Grad’s Quest: Food for Thought Beneath Food to Eat

A recent graduate of Harvard Law School has a lot on his plate, literally.
José Klein brings legal cases to life with drawings on plates, SF Gate reports. He started the venture after concluding the human dramas that result in dry legal doctrine are being overlooked.
"These cases become vehicles for rules to be established,” Klein told the publication. “But we lose sight of what's profoundly human in them, and they ultimately become abstractions."
Klein’s Make-a-Plates are featured on the website Learned Handmade Plates. His series include drawings illustrating punitive damages, the First Amendment, the commerce clause and U.S. Supreme Court justices. The story says there is “a folk art quality to many of the plates that's compellingly odd and lovely.”
A hat tip to How Appealing.
