How the way you dress is way of communicating
You may not realize it but the way you dress plays a large role in communicating. Your physical appearance is your first impression whether you are the lawyer or paralegal or some other staff member. You should always dress for success. Men should wear a suit if possible, or shirt and tie with dress pants. If you see a a member of legal team in jeans and t-shirt you may think twice about using that firm. Women should wear a dress, skirt, blouse and dress pants. No mini-skirts or belly shirts or you probably won't get far. It is especially important for you to be pleasant and smile. The paralegal is usually the person who greets the clients so they should always dress for success.

This is a very good point. It is not necessary to be the most fashionable person in the office however it is important to look and dress professional. This includes having good hygiene, having neat hair and being cleanly shaven. Appearance is definitely your first impression and without looking professional it is difficult to be taken as a respectable professional.
