: Ms. JDFashion Police Strike Again in BigLaw: 5th Year Associate Required to Undergo Makeover
By stacisaurus
In a recent article republished by The ABA Journal, attorney Tracey Batt recalls being embarrassed by the firm's request that she undergo a fashion overhaul.
An office encounter with several superiors one day was her first warning that she not only was being arrested by the fashion police but was being sent to a full-scale rehabilitation program. "The firm had hired someone to take me shopping and to a high-end salon for a full makeover," she writes. "It was positively mortifying."
Ms. Batt's original article was printed in New York Lawyer, and can be viewed here after free registration with the site.
