The Devil’s Advocate Doesn’t Wear Prada
By Izzy
There is a long tradition of plaintiff’s lawyers intentionally dressing badly—after all, you don’t want the jurors to think you’re a rich shark. But it’s safe to say that law professor and criminal defense attorney Alan Dershowitz was not trying to look like a shlub for the cover of his book. Yet not only is he swimming in the suit (probably because he lost weight since he bought it), but the shoulder is lumpy and the tie is straight from the Johnnie Cochran collection. A good criminal defense lawyer usually seeks to draw attention away from his client or opposing counsel, so if the suit doesn’t fit, well, you might not be acquitted.
