Professional Dress:
A Young Lawyer's Guide

As interview season soon gets under way and fall internships begin in earnest, now is the right time to pin down a subject with which many law students struggle: professional attire. Law students want to be judged on their merit. The best way to pull that off is to avoid distracting supervisors and prospective employers with your fashion choices. The Young Lawyer Editorial Board at The Legal Intelligencer provides this helpful take on how to accomplish that. Keep in mind that not every employer expects you to dress in business formal or even business casual clothing, but until you get a clear indication to the contrary, you should err on the side of formality
