Ever want to take on an opponent in court from the comfort of your living room? Â This legal themed chess set might provide an outlet.
“Approach the Bench” was designed by a lawyer’s son as a gift to his dad.  After realizing there aren’t many legal-themed chess sets out there, the man behind the idea decided to make his own.
From the website:
The chessboard is uniquely “stepped†to resemble a jury-box and a bench…  handcrafted from cold cast bronze and Italian stone tile.
You can also see Lady Justice as the Queen, a bailiffs as knights, attorneys as bishops, and casebook piles as rooks.
My favourite: the small army of sleepy jury members as pawns.
Maybe if real-life chess games were brought back into style, the image of an advocate as a civil, patient, strategist would come back into focus. Â What do you think?
