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 character ties at Marshall\u2019s, as well as these really 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 tie, but a lot of people do. While I like to wear Mitchell and Ness jerseys and Vineyard Vines shirts, I don\u2019t wear them to important meetings with potential clients and if I do dress that way with other providers, I warn them ahead of time that I\u2019m doing it. The point is that while you should never judge a book by its cover, people still do and you shouldn\u2019t lose a potential opportunity just because of the way you dress.<\/p>\n
As a side note, this criticizing judge was pompous and a know-it-all all. His law license was later suspended for lying to the FBI.<\/p>\n
