Not a good idea to get an entire graduating class of law students angry.
Ha, no. One of our undergraduates was the young lady who took Abercromibe & Fitch (a vile company on every level) to court for discrimination - and won. The case got a lot of coverage. She had only one hand; they didn't notice the prosthetic at interview, but when she showed up for work and they realised, they kept her in the storeroom and refused to let her on the shop floor for violating their ridiculous beauty standards. The more of a kicking that company gets, the better (and I say this fresh from the latest Chap magazine protest at their incursion onto Savile Row).
I think you really hit the nail on the head with this. It seems there are two types of dress codes, those that seek to set the tone by requiring certain items and those that seek to keep "the wrong sort of people" out by prohibiting certain items. In my experience, the former is encountered in top tier places, whereas the latter is seen in places that are anything but "classy."
Mn. Frankly, though, it doesn't surprise me that this place would have ideas above its station. I've seen Hulk Hogan on television a few times, and he always struck me as rather a self-important ass.
