How to command respect from male attorneys?
I am 25 and was admitted about 2-3 months ago. Court appearances obviously still make me nervous and I am timid as a result and am not one to talk back/argue because I’m just not confident if what I’m saying is correct..(basically I just don’t wanna be loud and wrong at the same time). It doesn’t help that I look much younger than 25.
I am frequently called “young lady” and get taken advantage of by male attorneys. My boss told me I need to start being more assertive and bitchy. I would love to make this happen and I really do think it’ll come with time and experience but I’d love to know if anyone has tips for how I can begin to implement this personality trait.
Appreciate any advice!!
