Presenting Yourself as A Lawyer (or just someone confident)

They say first impressions last, but when arguing in court, you have to be consistent with your impression (which should be right AND confident).

One subliminal way to do the latter is to dress properly. A well dressed man gives the impression of readiness. People in litigation (or anything with business) benefit from looking clean and tidy.

Why bother with how you dress when you know you're already good? well, it never hurts to have a plan B just in case you bomb.

I remember reading a study that says good looking people improve their station in life faster than less good looking people (see very politically correct!). Hence, why handicap yourself when its not necessary.

Yeah sure, dress down when you're relaxing, but if you're going to work, business or legal, you must be presentable.

That's why one should learn how to properly dress the part. If you're not wearing a barong (a Filipino formal polo shirt), then a suit and tie is next for you stunning males (or strong females).

Here is a video on how to make a windsor tie. The windsor tie conveys strength and confidence. Just right for those who wouldn't feel too bad getting an extra hand with their image.
