Not sure what happened to my previous thread, but I had asked whether or not physical attractiveness plays a significant part in biglaw hiring and success?

I read from JD Underground that biglaw hires tended to be more physically attractive than those hired into document review positions at the same firm. One person went so far as to say he could predict whether someone was getting off on the biglaw associate’s floor or the document review floor while in the elevator based on their appearance - the better looking people going to the associate’s floors.

Any truth to this?
