Trial packing question: I have a short bench trial coming up. We will be prepping witnesses in the evenings after trial. Should I prepare to wear my suit for those preps, or do people like to get comfier since they can go late? The other two people on my trial team are men, and I’m new to the firm, so I feel weird asking. TIA!

I've been on two different trial teams and both times we would go back to our rooms for 10-30 minutes (depending) to change into sweats, call spouses, etc. before coming back to the war room. But sometimes you can get pulled into something and not have a chance. If I were you I'd pack to have the option of doing that

I normally stay in my same clothes—no time to change.

It’s going to depend on how much time you have and if you feel like wasting the energy to go change. But if you’re asking whether you should wear a suit/can dress casual, I promise no one cares.

I've always been casual for prep, or at most maybe a bus casual top/sweater, but then jeans and sneakers

Always change… take the 15 mins

Hi All.
I joined IBM on 30 May 22 & bench since then (Skillset: D 365 F&O)
There are no projects & my PSP told me to get allocated into AX 2012 which is an older versiom of the ERP software.
I got an automated mail today saying:
"Any refusal to accept available assignments offered by WFM Manager or to participate in interviews will be viewed as failure to comply with instructions of management & will attract disciplinary action."
Will I be forced to resign if I do not join a random project?
