The Top 9 Legal Tips From Models
9> Black robes in October are, like, *so* last Halloween.
8> When in court, all that matters is the jury’s perception. So wear something slinky and sleep with the foreman.
7> Only date a lawyer with at least two BMWs.
6> When the chips are down, remain calm, disarming and unafraid to scratch some eyes out.
5> When appearing in court, always wear your most conservative French bikini.
4> Wearing the latest trends will make certain the jury’s attention is on you rather than your witness.
3> Whatever you do, don’t ask the judge if she wouldn’t prefer something more form-fitting than her robe.
2> If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the facts and the law are against you, show the judge your legs.
and the Number 1 Legal Tip From a Model…
1> Instruct your witness to drop his jacket from his shoulders as he makes a 180-degree turn before sitting in the witness chair. The jurors will be impressed and give his testimony better reviews.
