What’s the best way to wear your hair for a jury trial? My hair is a few inches past my shoulders. Wondering if I should wear it up or down, half way, etc. I won’t play with it if it’s down.

Also depends on your overall vibe and how you want the jury to see you. I’ve been told my personality is a bit “hard and cold” by a number of professors, mentors, and peers, so I try to make my physical appearance as soft and feminine as possible to balance it out.

It’s annoying that it has to be that way but that’s how human perception works.

Great way to think about it, even as just a counter balance to your consciously selected tone/strategy!

Search “easy work updo” on YouTube and poke around. A few of them changed my life and made it so much easier on court and depo days. Some are too complicated and I can’t manage them, but there are some good ones!

Anyone have three kids and working in big law? I just found out I’m pregnant with no. 3 and it’s been a lot trying to juggle morning sickness, but based on my experience, I know this is only the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come. My husband and I are elated, but the anxiety of being a mom of 3 kids and working in big law is preventing me from truly enjoying this news. It would be good to know what it’s really like having 3 kids so that I can evaluate how long I really have left in big law.

Fellow millennial lawyers: tell me, in general terms, 1 or 2 clients you acquired and how you acquired them. I feel like the suggested strategies for developing business are always the same: network, build your brand (hate this phrase), market yourself on LinkedIn, etc. Does any of this work? Seems to me to that most business development comes from long-standing contacts (e.g. your childhood best friend is now CEO and needs legal services), so I’m curious how other attorneys developed business.
