Myspace and Whatnot

Lawyers are on time, lawyers are prepared and image counts to lawyers. Does this mean that as a law student you need to dress up every day? Well no, though some do. The point we’re trying to get across here is to be very careful about the images of yourself that you put out into the world.

We’re referring specifically to the social networking sites like myspace and facebook. While these websites can be an invaluable way to meet people, network with colleagues and entertain your self in a boring class, they can also present the wrong image. Rumors abound regarding the extent to which admissions committees and law firms check these sites. Assume they do and act accordingly.
