Clients often visit the office in anticipation of the lawyers in the drama. Even if you look at the dramas in Seocho -dong, the actor’s appearance and the ability to solve the event will give the impression of ‘cool’.
The image of lawyers is also important in the real world. There are many explicit requests in detention centers with many female inmates. I had heard that I should come more nicer than other lawyers. Among the inmates, the nostalgia and ties of the lawyers in charge after the interview are said to be a hot topic.
Even a female inmate gave a lawyer to say, ‘Apply it with a beautiful color.’ It’s a joke to laugh, but it’s an expression of ‘expectation for a person who will defend yourself well.’ The appearance of a lawyer affects the client’s trust.
Attention is also focused on the appearance of the defendants as well as lawyers. In 2003, a woman in her 20s, which was published in a police officer of the police, became famous for ‘robbery’, and there was a case where a fan club claimed innocent.
In 2004, Tsuji Natsumi, a sixth grade girl in elementary school, killed her classmates with a weapon (aka ‘Nevada land case’), but he was more interested in his appearance than a cruel crime.
In spite of the disadvantageous sentencing conditions that he was arrested after a year of wanted, he was sentenced to four years of probation for two years and five months in prison, and Tsuji Natsumi was imprisoned for juvenile.
The more attractive the defendant’s appearance is, the more the judges will be sentenced to the sentence, and that the attractive accused is more reliable and less punished than the defendant who does not. Psychological halo effects of appearance may affect actual judgment.
When celebrities who are seen on TV or cinema attend the prosecution, the police, and the court, people’s attention is similar to the crime of charges and the punishment justification.
In our society, the appearance is interpreted as trust and neatness, but the appearance should not be evidence, and the impression should not be judged. The trial should be judged fairly according to facts, evidence, and law.
Attorney Ivora said, “The moment the defendant’s appearance is involved in the formation of cardiac, the definition is silent,” he said.
