A2, what if the Jean shorts are tastefully hemmed?

I’m glad fashion trends are adjusting. TBH my biggest worry is shoes, which I haven’t worn since April. I know some judges who just might go with us on jean shorts but I doubt we’ll get there on bare feet.

What is the T-shirt with suit look? What kind of T-shirt? Tucked or untucked? Dress shoes or sneakers? I have so many questions why even wear a suit at that point? What occasions is this appropriate for?

My only dress code instruction was not to wear Jean shorts to court. So my bar sounds lower…

It did make me question a lot of things about the associate I replaced though.

Any Atomic Habit readers here? I’m brainstorming identity-based habits for two things I want to change:

Neither of these feel that helpful. Any one have suggestions for other identity-based goals that get at these changes I want to make?

I’m a first year that’s inching toward second year. Partners in my group say “sometimes getting thrown into the deep end is the best way to learn.” However, I feel so lost. I feel like saying the above is just an excuse for not wanting to take the time to actually teach new associates.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
