Dressing a certain way is not a big deal in law school. When I visited FSU, people showed up in pajama pants. Although I wouldn't recommend this, it shows that there are more important things to worry about. I usually dress in casual clothing.

For the most part it wont matter.

However if you choose to wear something that makes you stick out you will increase your chances of being called on in class. If that doesn't bother you don't worry about it. If you don't want to be called on then scope out the norm and try to blend in... Of course there are some profs that are throw backs to another time that believe how you dress reflects on you. I can recall one prof who stated in class that if it were up to him everyone would be required to wear suits and ties... So you never know what the profs are thinking.
