Here are some important reminders about your Study Tour schedule:

During the weekends, your dress code could be Smart Casual.
As you know, professionalism and appearance are taken very seriously by courts, law schools and law firms across the world. As such, here are some suggested items to bring for your study tour:

Small Casual

For Ladies: A reasonable length skirt (not mini-skirt) or trousers of a non-jeans, material combined with a top (such as a dress shirt, polo, or sweater set) is considered acceptable. An informal dress with appropriate skirt length is also acceptable.
For Gentlemen: A combination of collared shirt (such as a dress shirt or polo shirt), cotton trousers (such as khakis or blue, green, brown, or black trousers) with a belt, and modest shoes (such as loafers) with socks is generally acceptable. A blazer or business jacket can optionally be added.

Business Attire

For Ladies, this category can look numerous ways. It includes tailored pantsuits, businesslike dresses, and coordinated dressy separates. When wearing separates, tailored jackets are required.
For Gentlemen, this category still demands a tie and it’s still worn with a dress shirt. However instead of a suit, this category includes a tailored sport coat worn with dress trousers.
