It’s that time of year again!
The legal world’s favourite (/only) pet calendar is back for 2026, and looking for your entries. For those of you who don’t know us: we’re a legal-themed pet calendar, with all our profits going to Save the Children. We’ve released 5 calendars so far, each more adorable than the last, and we can’t wait to see what you come up with this year.
Email BillableHourCalendar@outlook.com by 26th September to secure your pet’s place in the calendar. As usual, we are looking for pets across the legal spectrum, so law students/teachers/bloggers/barristers/solicitors/judges/clerks – anyone with a legal link is welcome! Your pet doesn’t even need to have paws.
We’re looking for pictures with a legal theme, so grab your legal props (be they law books, wigs, or a meticulously hand-made scale-model of a court room), and get snapping pictures of your lovely law pets.
Of course, entries will be judged by a jury of your peers – BUT! NEW FOR THIS YEAR: voting will move onto this website. We know not everyone has access to the same social media sites (and some of you don’t use any!) So we’re moving all voting here to ensure that EVERYONE has equal access to the legal-themed cuteness.
To help jog your memory, you can sign up to our reminder emails (www.lawpawcalendar.com), which will link you to each day’s vote. And don’t worry – pictures will still be posted on social media, so your feed will still be adorable.
The 12 winners will be the face of each month. Non-winners (no losers at Law Paw) WILL feature somewhere in the calendar. No fluffy/scaley/insert-feature-here creature will be left out.
Think: Cats sleeping in the scales of justice. Dogs in the dock. Mice in tiny custom-built court rooms. Or just stick a law book near your hamster’s dinner. Seasonal photos are welcome, and will be allocated to a suitable month.
Don’t fancy the stress of the vote, but still keen for your beloved law pet to feature? Send your pictures in anyway and just write the words “Opt Out”. Your pets will feature alongside all the other non-winners (still no losers here, honest).
Please share the calendar with legal friends far and wide – the more people who enter, the more adorable pets you will get to share 2026 with!
