We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
2. Clients prefer shabby and old advocates, as it shows they really work hard, when actually they hire unpaid labour to do everything.
No way anyone can look good while running around with several kilos of files in court corridors. Litigating lawyers have accepted ugliness.
Do both men and women go for treatments like botox or skin lightening (fair skin being seen as a sign of beauty in India)?
You do sound like an entitled tier 1 product.
If you are balding, either wear a wig, or shave it entirely, or go abroad and pay a lot of cash from a stem cell hair restoration procedure.
Even in law school, there were two guys in my batch from South India who were good in studies, yet used Fair and Handsome and did so openly. There was also a guy from an SC background who used it. It was also openly discussed (among both girls and guys) that so and so girl is beautiful as she is fair. I am talking about a tier 1 NLU here, not some regional college!
For women: Same as above plus skin whitening
Asking because of age discrimination and skin colour discrimination in India. Plus general bias in favour of looks.
