When kelly was a litigator in high-stakes lawsuits, she learned a skill of the trade: taunting her adversaries until they snapped. “I might say something passive-aggressive just to get opposing counsel mad,” she writes. “And then when he got worked up about it, I would say calmly, ‘You seem upset. Do you need a break? We can take a moment if you’d like to step outside and get yourself together.’ ” She became “an expert in making them lose their cool.”

Isn't there supposed to be a minimal level of decorum and ethical behavior in law?

This is pretty standard litigator behavior. Or even negotiation behavior. If you can make the other person lose their cool, you've partially won.

The utility of making the other side "lose their cool" is greatly overstated, especially with respect to other lawyers.

Agreed. People seem to think if the other side loses their cool, they'll stop think strategically and do something dumb.

What happens when the other side hates you so much they find utility in your pain and make otherwise sub optimal choices solely to spite you?

With the possible exception of a few instances where opposing counsel was obviously busch league, I can't think of a single instance where pissing off opposing counsel for its own sake was beneficial. Sure, there are times when it is necessary to dig in your heals on particular issues to signal your unwillingness to compromise on that issue or to protect an tactical advantage of some sort, but that's entirely different.

There's times where you need to take a hard line and not agree to a requested concession but that doesn't mean you need to be a dick about it.

Being a dick just motivates them to work extra harder and means, especially if you practise in the small pool of a specialist area, that you get a reputation for being a dick who nobody is inclined to do a favour for.

Generally what comes around goes around and once you're known as a dick you often won't get the usual considerations from other attorneys.

Except that if she was a dood, people would be lauding her litigation skills and calling her tough, etc.

Think about this: all of the shit we love about Donald Trump - a fighter, brash, sometimes crude, politically incorrect, lets his passions/anger sometimes get the better of him, openly sexual/doesn't back away from statements showcasing his appreciation of attractive members of his preferred gender - are things that we'd hate in, say, Ivanka Trump. If Ivanka were more like her father in terms of personality and temperament, would people be recommending her for a political run? Would she be so popular?

Why should we applaud women that betray their evolutionary purpose by acting like men?

I'm not saying we should applaud them, but if we're considering a certain set of skills and personality traits to be a feature and not a bug in Person A, and would consider those same skills/personality traits to be a bug and not a feature in Person B, that's a bit silly especially if we're talking about something completely unrelated to evolution/procreation (i.e. where innate differences between the sexes are relevant)

You sound autistic. You can't divorce one personality trait from the rest of the person. There's no shortage of men who could replace any women in any important role so there's no reason to value women working when the negative effect is depressing wages and birth rates

It's the same reason why we devalue people that are short, fat or ugly. People are different, the idea that we can just look at someone's "personality" and detach it from the actual person is against human nature

But if we recognize that we instinctually devalue people for certain traits, we can be more mindful of this tendency and take steps to minimize and eliminate it.

I don't think it's necessarily a good thing that we devalue people for height, weight, or physical attractiveness from a professional standpoint unless being tall, thin, and pretty is an explicit part of the job description. We could be dinging great candidates for the job or hiring shitty ones based on these biases.

I'm only speaking from a professional perspective here, not from a standpoint of who you'd rather be friends with/date.

Not for women.

I have a couple of friends who are objectively beautiful (top 1% may be pushing it, but still) in a classic way - natural blondes, D cups, and all. They are in male-dominated professions and sometimes encounter trouble with their male peers, especially supervisors.

Other than questionable sexual harassment (which can happen to dudes too), these women have experienced (1) not being taken as seriously as their male or less pretty female counterparts, (2) being viewed as ornamental, (3) being viewed as a dilettante who isn't taking the job as seriously because she can easily find a rich husband, (4) subject to assumptions/rumors that she used her "feminine wiles" inappropriately to achieve certain things, (5) jealousy/cattiness from female supervisors who may otherwise be mentors, (6) sexual come-ons from male supervisors who might otherwise be mentors, (7) being asked to "smile more" in annual reviews.

The calculus is different in professions like media or fashion which are dominated by attractive women and gays. But a Top 1% attractiveness woman in biglaw or finance might have a very different experience. ESPECIALLY if she's single.

If this woman is married, hell, she's respected more than her male counterparts. Unless she has kids and her husband makes money. Then, they just assume she doesn't take the job seriously because she's got her eye on the mommy track, just like they may for all women.

Being top 20-30% in looks does help the overall professional presentation, but most of this can be solved with personal hygiene and wearing clothes that work best with your body type.

I'm not denying women have it different, but you're saying we should only consider people for their "abilities" and not for anything superficial. Example: a fat short bald male is unpleasant to look at. Now you may not be dating him or friends with him, but if he's your coworker you will spend more waking hours with him then with your family. That reduces your qol at work

An analogue is a shrill voice. A shrill voice on a conference call is inherently unpleasant. And women are far more likely to have shrill voices then men.

None of this is fair, but you're asking people to ignore things that are part of being human.

A shrill voice is something that you can easily modulate, and I've had to advise people (kindly and tactfully and in private) to modulate their voice on conference calls. I also can't remember the last time I've heard a memorably shrill voice a la Janice from Friends.

A fat, short, bald male may be unpleasant to look at but if he's professional, well-spoken, and personable I won't notice the fat/short/bald aspects unless there's a pronounced hygiene issue (deodorant not working, bad breath).

I can think of many fat/short/bald men (or otherwise unattractive men) that I've worked with who have been great to work with due to personality, capability, mentorship, etc. and were valued members of the team.

Unclear

At Jones Day, Kelly billed 3,000 hours a year. She was on partnership track. Everything might have seemed perfect, but she wasn’t happy:

"I had been working myself into a frenzy, billing more than 3,000 hours a year. The better you are as a lawyer, the more work gets loaded on you as a ‘reward.’ As they say, working in law is like a pie-eating contest in which the prize is more pie. Which is about when I realized: just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean it makes you happy."

She loved moot court, where she discovered she liked “being ‘on’ in a room”; she also spent too much money and ruined her credit."
