I was a first-year law student participating in moot court, just because all second-year students participated even when I knew I had zero interest in ever being a litigator. In those days, my mother would buy me these cheap cartoon character ties at Marshalls, as well as these nice Nicole Miller ties (it was the 1990s).<\/p>\n
The second-year students were in charge of the moot court and one of the judges in my case was a highly opinionated student government official. After I presented, he criticized my Flintstones tie as being inappropriate. I don\u2019t judge people by the look of their ties, but a lot of people do.<\/p>\n
