The Best Advice For Dressing In Biglaw

Why, yes -- fashion is a feminist issue.

Welcome to The Jabot podcast!

The podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Let’s be real — it can suck out there. So we want to create a space where our community can come together share stories, find support and devise strategies.

Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wears when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that — even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.

In the inaugural episode of The Jabot podcast. I sit down with my good friend and all-around amazing woman Kat Griffin, a former Biglaw attorney who is the founder, publisher, and editor-in-chief of the website Corporette. (If you haven’t checked out Corporette — you really should! It’s the “go-to source” for professional but fashionable women.)

We chat about everything you need to know regarding clothes in the workplace from taking fashion risks in Biglaw, to tips for dressing professionally in the heat of the summer, and why fashion is a feminist issue.

Enjoy!
