My reading device is firmly planted into my head. You don't happen to carry a little asian with you who can read and do math for you, do you? 7/28/2012 1:46:38 PM |

Who needs a briefcase when you have a fannypack? AM I RITE?!! 7/28/2012 2:30:13 PM |

Mine isn't fashionable, but it's serviceable. It's a whole lot easier to carry a hardsided briefcase into court than a messenger bag. Looks a lot better too (I don't want to stand out as the youngster with the slung messenger bag). 7/28/2012 2:47:10 PM |

why do you care what people think of you? 7/28/2012 2:47:54 PM |
Beethoven All American 4080 Posts user info edit post |
I don't care what "people" think of me, but rather what the Judge thinks. Courtroom decorum goes a long way to winning a case. And if the Judge takes me more seriously, then he or she is more likely to give credence to my arguments. It would be a bad idea to act or look too "young". 7/28/2012 2:52:42 PM |

Oh. So now the judge isn't a "person." One more word out of you kiddo and I'll serve you with contempt of TWW, punishable by only being allowed to read BubbleBobble's posts for a week.

like what do you keep that it has to be handcuffed, or do you just like the feeling of importance and sexual nature of handcuffs 7/28/2012 2:59:46 PM |

I did come across a neat bullet proof briefcase that would shock people as well.

Sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me.

What do you expect?
This is why, if you have to go to court, you better dress as nice as you can afford - for an extra nice touch, buy off the rack shit that doesn't fit perfectly to give you that, you're not rich, but you're trying your best, look.

If I were a judge, I would take Beethoven much more seriously if he wheeled one of these into the room:
Most people I work with would vigorously ridicule anyone who came to work with a hardsided briefcase, but then I am an engineer. For us, the cool thing to do is buy a really nice leather laptop bag, scratch the shit out of it, and treat it like a tool tote. 7/28/2012 5:53:00 PM |

^I have used one of those before but only on cases with a ton of shit attached.

And I doubt it's a conscious decision, although a judge doesn't hesitate to tell you to get out of the courtroom if you aren't dressed appropriately. But the Judge is likely more inclined to take me seriously if I look like I take this stuff seriously. It's all in the art of persuasion, and you have to look the part.
