The Latin word LEX is often defined in dictionaries with a simple three-letter word = LAW.  The Conklin LEX collection of writing instruments draws inspiration from the rich history of the legal profession, with its roots in Roman law, which had many contributions to modern society that are often taken for granted today.  The Conklin Lex family of writing instruments make the perfect gift for anyone just entering the profession, or as an elegant, everyday tool for even a seasoned advocate.

Each pen features a European-grade, hand-crafted smooth resin. The shiny black body is accented with 18KT gilded rose gold elements symbolizing crucial legal symbols; the law book, chapter signs, the scales of justice, the wooden gavel, and the courthouse. The top of the cap boasts an 18KT gilded rose gold coin, bearing the symbol of Themis, the Greek goddess of justice, engraved with the quote "lustitia est caeca" (Justice is blind) and the pens name "LEX."

The 18KT gilded rose gold clip showcases an image of the iconic scales of justice signifying the pens theme even when not in use.

The fountain pen boasts a premium rose gold-plated stainless steel nib, made in Germany by JoWo, the preeminent nib manufacturer in the world. The pen can easily be filled via standard international ink cartridges or high quality threaded piston converter (Included).

The Conklin LEX fountain pen is presented in a deluxe gift box, accompanied by a 30 ml themed ink bottle.

I dearly love this pen that represents my career. It is gorgeous and easy for a fountain pen newby like me to use and enjoy. And, shout out to Goulet Pen Company for doing a pen test for me. I asked if they would do that because as a fountain pen newby, I wasn't sure I would know if the EF nib wrote like it should. Not only did they agree to do a pen test, the employee who tested it sent me a personalized video of the test! That is AMAZING customer service. That kindness has made me a loyal customer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this pen with ink cartridges? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses standard international ink cartridges, a common size which is available in many colors from various brands.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
