A sketch to memorize some contracts law, I made back during bar study.
This hand-drawn print brings the Statute of Frauds to life—literally—with a visual take on the classic MYLEGS mnemonic. Whether you’re in Contracts class for the first time or revisiting bar prep, this illustration lays out the six types of agreements that must be in writing to be enforceable under the statute.
Each category—Marriage, Year (longer than), Land, Executor, Goods, Surety—is integrated into a set of illustrated “legs” (yes, actual legs), making this both a memorable study tool and a standout piece of law school art. Created during my 1L year and refined with digital ink and color, it’s equal parts doctrine and humor.
You can buy this perfect law student or lawyer gift at my Etsy shop, that’s full of law school and lawyer drawings.
Printed in full color on premium heavyweight matte paper that’s soft, smooth, and non-reflective. Paper is 200 gsm (80 lb), uncoated, and FSC-certified or equivalent.
Available in multiple sizes.
Thanks for visiting—may your contracts be clear, enforceable, and fully legible.
