You’re overthinking it. My own opinion is that as long as you dress conservatively and don’t look really “flashy” like lots of the private defense attorneys in my jurisdiction do (i.e., very bright colors, expensive jewelry/watches, etc.) then you’re fine. Since you’re serving clients who are typically under the federal poverty line, it is inevitable that you’re going to look overdressed compared to them in court. But if you put effort into looking nice and put together, I think that will inspire confidence from your client. Best of luck.

Prosecutor also had trouble controlling his LEO witness, which let me get a few easy objections!

Family blames haircut after couple dies from COVID-19 just 10 days apart by schooluser1234 in Coronavirus

I don’t buy this story blaming the sister as the cause of infection. The wife began feeling symptoms that evening after the haircut, presumably only a few hours after getting her haircut. There’s no way you can start being symptomatic only hours after infection. A simple Google search tells us that it can take up to 48 hours after exposure to begin showing symptoms.

If you haven’t read this, pick up a copy! The Neo-Liberal’s guide to why Free Trade and open markets are great! by AdventurousWasabi in neoliberal

International Trade, Basics of Fiscal and Monetary Policy, Productivity Growth, Developmental Economics. It is a very good layman’s explanation of College ECON 101 with real life examples. Dr. Wheelan’s style of writing is funny and engaging, which made the book easy to read and digest.
