Design notes

The portrait format follows the page of a printed statute from top to bottom. The logo, the organisation and a small gilt § sit on a centred axis above the award's title and the italic long title. Below, the body is set ranged left like a code: a bracketed date, then sections one to four for the name, the lettered grounds, the particulars and the citation number. Two signatures stand either side of the QR code at the foot. The upright shape suits a document frame on a chambers wall or a printed award folder.

About

Attorney Certificate Template, Act of Recognition Portrait

Recognising a lawyer in writing is a long habit of the profession. Firms honour the associate or partner who won for clients and gave hours to pro bono cases; state and local bar associations, law societies and legal-aid organisations honour members who served the public and the courts. The certificate records why: the advocacy, the judgement and the service behind the title.

Wording on the template“An Act to recognise exceptional advocacy, sound judgement and generous service to clients, the courts and the community.”

Post for the recipient to share

I am honoured to be named Attorney of the Year by my firm. This year brought hard cases, long nights and clients who trusted us with matters that mattered deeply to them. None of it happens alone, so thank you to my colleagues, our staff and every client who let us fight for them. #Lawyer #LegalProfession

Printing

Printing it well

Print at actual size

Choose “Actual size” or 100% in the print dialog, not “Fit to page”, so the margins and the QR code keep their size.

Use card, not paper

A matte or silk card of 200–300 gsm (about 80–110 lb cover) feels like an award and does not curl in a frame.

Frame it

A4 fits a standard 21 × 29.7 cm frame; US Letter fits an 8.5 × 11 in frame, or an 11 × 14 in frame with a mat. Hang it upright, as designed.

Mind the edges

Most home printers leave a thin white border. For a design that runs to the edge, use a print shop or your printer’s borderless setting.
