The unplugged microphone in Professor Parker's left hand signifies his preference for student's to "Speak Up!" Never having been accused of speaking with a feeble tone, he manages to fill the silence in even the deepest corners of Room 120-121. Though he currently allows students in his Criminal Law class to use the amplifying device, the microphone at his feet suggests his personal motto of "Microphones? Microphones? We don't need no stinking microphones!"
Finally, in Professor Parker's left hand is a copy of his Fall 2004 Evidence exam. Unfortunately, height restrictions and design elements forced Davies to abridge the exam to only the first fourteen essay questions, thus leaving out the second half of the three hour exam.
For the second new bobblehead, Professor Michael Krauss, Davies went to similar lenthgs to ensure an accurate portrayal. Krauss is shown wearing the same pink shirt and red tie from his faculty photo. He is standing on textbooks for Torts and Professional Responsibility, two of his most prominent courses at Mason Law. While the Torts book seems much thinner than the one assigned for the required class, Davies attributes the smaller size to the fact that chapters on Strict Liability and Comparative Negligence had been appropriately removed.
Also, though the books do not individually open, he assures that the bookmark hanging from the Torts book is marking U.S. v. Carroll Towing and the often overemphasized Hand Formula, a necessary citation on Krauss' exams. Finally atop the stack of books is a tome on Labradors, the dogs that Professor Krauss and family breed.
In his right hand, Bobble-Krauss is holding Legal Ethics in a Nutshell, the supplemental book he co-authored with Professor Ronald Rotunda, symbolizing his other major area of interest and classroom instruction. In his left hand, the Orioles pennant emphasizes both his love of Baltimore baseball, and his utter hatred for all things pinstripes.
Although Parker and Krauss are the only two dolls crafted thus far, Davies assures that no one will be left out. Prototypes of dolls for Professors Michelle Boardman, Steven Eagle, Maxwell Stearns and Michael Green are expected by early next year.
