If firms are ugly discriminatory, should law schools be too? (pictures w/ apps; mandatory interviews?) A big factor in rankings is reputation. What's better for reputation than hotties?

[englawyer]

us news will track avg gpa, avg LSAT, and avg hotness (1-10).


avg hotness will be determined by submitting the applicants photos to hot-or-not and tallied appropriately. 25th - 75th percentiles must be reported

Looks like I may have to go to Cumberland after all

at least it would provide some data to argue over in these http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... =1&t=87475 types of threads

Great, even more ways to discriminate against Asians

Who says Asians aren't hot?


Reading this article the other day made me hope that I'm hot by law standards.

You're an idiot.

for another superficial tidbit in the law world...

men who have family and kids = bonus within the law firm. congrats etc...viewed favorably.
single men = kind of strange, better to have family and kids

women who have family and kids = shunned, obviously will put family first and lose ambition, less able to perform, etc.
single woman = tough, career minded. can be treated the same as a man because she won't be pulled in many directions.

this is from some sociological study i believe, my gf told me earlier today

I hope firms are like everyone else were men are held to a lower standard. Cause I'm ugly.

You mean you guys didn't send in a glossy 8x10 in lieu of an application to your law schools also? I think the soft lighting in my picture really set me apart.

[jack duluoz]

I'm ok with this because I'm pretty good looking.

I think there really is strong correlation between attractiveness and success (i.e. salary)

This is an older article (2008) and not even remotely in-depth, but basically, the better looking the NFL quarterback, the more he'll likely make. Probably rings true in the realm of legal employment.

But then again, that quarterback is selling tickets and getting women to watch on TV. We would hope that a client wouldn't choose a firm/or lawyer based on their attractiveness. But then again, its nice to be working long hours with an attractive partner.

seems to be an appropriate thread to re-re-use this pic.

Sounds like she wants you to propose.

Haha. This thread is awesome.

White boys love them tiny asian girls for some reason. As a product of a caucasian father and asian mother, i would have to say:

half asian > full asian

most asians arent 'hot' but halfies tend to be. (see: kristin kruek)

For men, there's this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/scie ... pular.html

No joke, I almost wrote my personal statement about being ugly. Then I decided against it because it seemed whiny. But, it is unfair how my super cute friends get so many more opportunities than me when they aren't any smarter.

Whats wrong with that?

They have to try to be beautiful, you were born smart.

To me, it seems unfair that people born smart get all the opportunities.

They don't have to try to be cute. My one friend hardly takes care of herself. Her sense of style is dreadful. I, as an ugly person, probably take way better care of myself.

Maybe its not about fairness but running a business. but then again, running a business is all about making clients happy. who want to work with hotties. it sure would be helpful if they were smart...
