How Can You Get Into the Business of Beauty and Fashion Law?
Readers, we know what you must be asking yourselves: fashion law? Is that similar to unicorn law? No. Unlike unicorn law, and contrary to public opinion, fashion law actually exists. In the past, we’ve written about lawyers and law students who have violated multiple fashion laws. We’ve even profiled a lawyer who specializes in fashion […] -

Lawyer of the Month: October Reader Poll
It seems like lawyers got a little wild last month, especially the ladies. In fact, our candidate pool for October’s Lawyer of the Month contest was mostly dominated by women. Score one for women’s equality in the legal profession, even if we’re out there embarrassing ourselves. Only one of our candidates is a man, but […] - Sponsored

A Crime of Fashion: When Law Students Dress Like Hookers
One of our tipsters alerted us to an episode of TLC's What Not to Wear -- the world's greatest guilty pleasure television show -- that we seem to have missed when it aired last year. The show featured a 2L from a southern law school, but this girl dressed more like a prostitute facing arraignment (sorry, Reema) than the lawyer representing her. So who is she, was she hot, what law school did she attend, and were Stacy and Clinton able to change this girl from a hooker to a looker?

'Cause Every Law Firm's Crazy 'Bout a Sharp-Dressed Man
Back in June, we notified our readers about a fabulous job opportunity for attorneys in Philadelphia. There was one catch: the applicant had to be a "sharp dresser." In fact, "no casuals" need apply for this lucrative position. Lo and behold, the job listing has reappeared. And this time, if you're thinking of applying, you had better get your headshots ready.... -

Summer Is Ending, But Flip-Flops Are Still Hot at Quinn Emanuel
Back in June, we wrote about the lawyers in the Fashion Victims Unit at litigation powerhouse Quinn Emanuel.

Size Matters: No White After Labor Day Is Not Fashion Law
I consider myself to be pretty fashionable. Indeed, I (like so many others) pray to the patron saint of fashion, the Duchess of Cambridge. I am well versed in the laws of fashion. For example: 1. Thou shalt not wear a romper after age 22. 2. Thou shalt wear white any season. 3. Khakis are […] -

Small Firms, Big Lawyers: The Small-Firm Dress Code
The other day, Staci wrote about dress codes at some of the large firms. Specifically, Quinn Emanuel made some noise by putting out a minimalist dress code, requiring only shoes “because our insurance company requires them!” (Yes, it’s their exclamation point.) This was in stark contrast to other Biglaw dress codes, like the paternalistic one […] -
