When at the courthouse, my favorite people watching is on the criminal floor. Those criminal defense lawyers have to be the worst dressed folks in existance.
Most of the male attornies have long hair, suits that look like they were bought at a thrift shop.. heck, some even wear sneakers with their "suits". I haven't seen too many female criminal defense attornies.
The thing about criminal law around here is that it's about 99% negotiation and only very, very rarely does it involve an actual trial (let alone a jury trial).
Usually your murder jury trials bring out a better breed of attorney. Those long-haired gremlin folks usually bail when they hear they're actually going to have to take it to trial.
