Updated: We recently stumbled on a crowdfunding page for the Denver-based Lady Justice Brewing Company. The Indiegogo page states that Lady Justice, started by three women (two are lawyers), will be a philanthropic brewery, with all profits from their enterprise “donated, through a grant-making process, to Colorado-based community organizations that promote the status and opportunity of women and girls.”

Those who donated at the Sandra Day O’Connor level earned the privilege of being a beer consultant for one small batch for sale and being able to name that batch.

You don’t have to enjoy beer to love wordplay. So this week, we’d like to ask you: What would you name your legal brew? (We’ll note that Collaboration Not Litigation is already taken.)

After we posted this question, Lady Justice Brewing reached out to the ABA Journal. They say they already have a law-themed release of beers planned for when they get up and running, and they will use their favorite name submitted among these answers to this question for an actual batch of beer. Submit your answer by 12 p.m. CT on Tuesday, Sept. 1, at which point commenting on this post will close.

Posted by Boo2u20: “I am in the process of funding the BauBax travel jacket through KickStarter; funding closes Sept. 3. I travel internationally for work and this project has been on my wish list for years. Their jackets are the Swiss Army Knife of travel apparel with a detachable liner, hood, pillow, built in gloves, waterproof iPhone pocket, and beautiful overall appearance. It is hard to find a jacket that works for the office and the plane, so this is a godsend!”

Hopefully, this Question of the Week will provide the opportunity for many light-hearted puns. But if you or any attorney you know is struggling with substance abuse problems, including alcoholism, there is help available. The ABA Commission on Lawyer Assistance Programs has more information.

Updated Aug. 27 to correctly note that two of the Lady Justice Brewing founders are lawyers and to note their interest in the answers to this question.
