What is appropriate attire for school?
Most students dress casually for class. Remember, however, that this is the beginning of your professional career. In the future, you will be asking professors and administrators for letters of recommendation and will be seeking business referrals from your fellow alums. The impressions you make will last long after law school so you may want to avoid attire that, while trendy or fashionable, may not foster the long-term image you want to create. Also, when selecting your clothing for a given day, you should consider what events are occurring on campus. For example, the Career Services Office frequently hosts presentations by practicing attorneys. These events are a great opportunity for you to network and perhaps obtain a job interview, so you should wear something that will create a positive impression on the prospective employer.
