I think it definitely depends on the law firm; where I'm at, I'm very comfortable knowing that my employment there is contingent on the work that I do, not the threads on my back. Perhaps it's because I'm younger so I'm not expected to be all GQ right away; I also rarely ever meet clients (the rich, important ones, anyways).[/quote]
If your not in front of clients it doesn't matter. That's the million dollar question in law. Also, employment or performance is never dependant on what 'threads are on my back', however at big firms anyway, part of your performance is being able to judge things that are appropriate ... mannerisms, how you communicate, what you wear etc... If there is any place where that matters its corporate law.
