Re: How big of a role does physical appearance/race play in law?
this is america. we like to see the rich and beautiful fall; if there was a blonde hot ice queen on one side i'm sure the jury would enjoy looking at her during the trial but i doubt it would make them like her more because of it. in fact i would think being more homely would make you connect with jury's more.sidhesadie wrote:I think that in a lot of fields, being attractive as a female can be a huge advantage, I'm not so sure that it is in hiring in for attorneys. I do think it can help you if you litigate in a field with jury trials (to be attractive).

looks probably play more of a role in making you a social person in general which are conducive to client relations, and rainmaking...i doubt they care about in terms of litigation work

Idk, but if you look (and do your hair) like that, you better come from a rich, traced-back-to-the-Mayflower, WASPy family.sundance95 wrote:Is it just me or does this guy look like some kind of comic book villain?quakeroats wrote:Sullivan and Cromwell:
