Lawyer Geirgius Huffins' tie is psychologically designed to make him appear more charismatic in court. He was almost disbarred for this, but he wore the tie to the disbarment hearing and it was unanimously decided that he could continue practicing law.

The only source I could find for this was a 7 year old post here with identical wording.

Um... link? I literally wrote this myself this morning. Anyone reading this, I dare you to look up my title or any part of it in quotes in google. I assure you this is not a repost.

Thanks to u/earshrapnel, I found the article detailing the case where he wears that tie.

You're full of shit. I'm no British law buff but that case doesn't correspond at all to what you've said... and furthermore that isn't even the lawyers name!

That just links back to this post. I'm unsure why its dated 7 years ago.

Weird. Says it's from 2013 but the link is of this post. Try clicking it if you don't believe me. It's a weird glitch

That is a picture of British barrister David Pannick, tho.
And his very nice, non-magical tie.

Guaranteed whatever "science" went into making his tie is complete bullshit.

All I can see is the Rainbow Fish and that makes me happy, so yeah, despite the headline being absolute clickbait nonsense, I dig the tie.

This was in a textbook I read in AP Psychology. I'll get you the title as soon as I get home, currently at the hospital

The picture is from an unrelated Brexit story. It's a uk solicitor, no way this is true

I'd really love to have that info. I've already read Robert Cialdini's books Influence: The Science & Practice and Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade. Both books had some really great info on authority, power, and influence.

Pre-suasion was especially enlightening as it showed how simply changing the background of an advert to a flag gets more conservative people interested and standing outside a flower shop helped a man get more phone numbers than standing in front of any other store.

When I saw this it got me thinking about how people might be able to get that same pre-suasive effect simply by what they wear. As someone who is aiming to be a therapist, dressing in a manner that puts the client most at ease would be beneficial to both parties.

It's from a news story from a year ago and that's not his name.

I agree. What would be the reasoning? The suit is also a thing we wear to influence the perception isn't it?

But a female lawyer can wear a bra, false eyelashes, makeup, high heels and a fucking wig, right?

ffs

I mean you have to wear a bra to be professional. I think you mean padded or push up bra.

God all these female lawyers, strolling about wearing bras and mandatory wigs. Who are they trying to impress? It’s a slippery slope before they start wearing shoes

God all these female lawyers, strolling about wearing bras and mandatory wigs (at least in the U.K.) Who are they trying to impress?

maybe ask charlotte proudman and see how that tanked her career as a solicitor.

She still has a career, this guy nearly lost his, over a fucking tie!

no she doesn't . she destroyed her career as a solicitor and has attempted to be a barrister. But very very few firms ( especially the magic circle ) will give her instructions( contracts). I would not call her attempts at being a "journalist" in the graund a career.

shes a loose cannon and very unprofessional. No worthwhile client( eg monied) wants that kind of publicity
