Bold plaid fits well with a bold personality. I think Ari Gold could wear it.

One of my clients is a corporate lawyer and wears Charcoal glen plaid on occasion. Plaid is similar to pinstripes in that there are PINSTRIPES!!! and there are pinstripes. Choose wisely.

Glen plaid is absolutely appropriate.

Thanks for the thoughts, guysl. It will be my third suit (after conservative navy and charcoal suits). Definitely not the suit that I will be wearing for interviews. Just something to add a little something to my suit rotation.

As far as interviews, I am not at a t10, unfortunately. I'm at a t50. Job interviews are happening, but they're taking a lot of legwork. This forum is not lawschooldiscussion.org so I'll leave such topics for over there at the risk of boring everyone.

I was in B50! LOL. However, I clerked the entire time I was in law school and I knew what I was doing when I rolled out. I went right into national tobacco litigation as a staff writer for the PLC office. While people with 4-5 experience were coding documents, I was drafting briefs for pending cases nationwide.

Class rank does ONE thing, it gets you a job. Hard work and a knack for the practice make you a success.

Experience, I will take any day over rank. Give me someone hungry to work and learn over a Law Review peacock any day.

With all due respect, this may have been a reading comprehension fail. Q had nothign to do with interview attire. That said, you are correct that gp is too distracting for such an occassion.

Thanks for the responses, everyone.

Half the decision to go corporate over litigation was based on my distaste for Blue Booking.

I thought you went to UChi and used the Maroonbook?

I know it exists, but I never used it and I'm not sure who did. In our 1L legal writing class, we only used the Blue Book
