Halloween Ideas: Is Just Being a Lawyer Scary Enough?
With Halloween around the corner, we imagine you may be desperately brainstorming costume ideas for next week. While clients may accuse you of being blood-suckers all year long, we know better.
A few years back, we knew of a paralegal who donned tighty-whities over his suit, and spent the bulk of the Halloween night explaining that he was a “legal brief.”
We went searching for other legally-themed costumes, and found “lawyer costume ideas” on Costumezee, including “sexy prosecuter [sic],” pictured at right.
She looks more like sexy school girl in high heels. Where’s the ever-present cup of coffee and boxes of discovery?
Curious as to what “sexy public defender” would look like? Check it out, along with more Halloween costumes, after the jump. We invite you to offer better ideas for costumes in the comments.
Apparently, to change sexy prosecutor into sexy defense attorney, you just add stockings and glasses.

Which would you rather be: judge or sexy judge?

Or you could go as the lawyer seeking to be president. From HalloweenCostumes.com:

Scary. Very scary.
How are you dressing this year? What’s the best legally-themed costume you’ve ever seen?

NO FAT CHICKS!
I personally prefer the sexy Judge Halverson costume complete with frying pan.

I know! Take a normal job and add "sexy" to it, and just make the uniform unnaturally revealing... and add stuff like fishnets and long boots.
I must be the first one to have this idea. I'll make a killing.

I bet Lat will dress up as a sexy defense attorney for Mystal.
I'm going to dress up as an Acorn voter, which means that I'm going to arrive at the party multiple times throughout the night.
I'm going as a fatassed blogger who can't spell. But sexy. (With fishnets.)
I think the ATL staff should dress up as authors and journalists.
i'm going as dick fuld. i have a suit, and a sign that says "Where's MY BAILOUT"
- Me So Corny
#4 - I'm an attorney in Vegas and I am SURE that I will see someone with a rented wheelchair scooter, a fat suit, a judge outfit, with a frying pan and some fake eggs in it somewhere here around Halloween...
I'm staying in halloween night to job search online and prepare cover letters.

- really nervous T-14 1L
I tried the sexy prosecutor look last year, but my sack kept slipping out of my thong.
6, 7: I'll piss on you.
13 -- If you do happen upon such a person, please take a picture. Nothing better than some Halverson pics.
That sexy prosecutor is giving me a boner.
really nervous T-14 1L--- your costume can be to dress up as someone who's actually been laid before.
Damn, Lat looks so sexy in that skirt. So sexy.
really nervous T-14 1L, if you follow 19's advice, you shouldn't dress like MysTTTal.
I'm going as Barry Soetoro or Joe the Plumber.
unlike really nervous T14, i will dress up for halloween...as a V10 hiring partner. then i will give myself an offer...if only it was true:(
*shaves head and gains forty pounds in preparation for halloween costume*
-nervous T-10 1L
5 - LOVE IT!
Let's change nervous T-10 1L's name to Not Smart Enough for T6, because that's what he is.
I hate you nervous T-10. I really really do.
UVA2L
UVA2L: You only hate nervous 1L because he is going to be more successful than you. Nervous 1L is the perfect prototype for firm life...neurotic and obsessive.
Gator Fan (Jean shorts, no teeth, poor grasp of English language, etc.)
I am going to wear a polo shirt with a full popped collar and sweet pair of madras shorts. Suck it.
Giggitty Giggitty
23, brilliant.
If these costumes were really "sexy" they would not be available in "large".
This article is a few weeks late. Halloween costume buying is pretty much over; the only people still looking are at Yale and Harvard, and they're screwed because people at the lower schools have already laid claim to what few good costumes were available this year.
But at Yale and Harvard, the quality of their costumes will only be rated pass, or no credit.
32- Genius!
Now what I wear to work everyday will be appropriate...
I'd like to see Kash in all of these costumes. Even the Obama one, although she might be cold with just that mask on.
I have a big tongue. My tongue is very big. I hate my big tongue. Why can't I have a normal size tongue?
Tongue
I'm going to dress is rags, all disheveled, like I'm homeless because I just lost my job. When asked by others, I'll explain that I'm a former Heller attorney.

Remember to don some fishnets and high heels after gaining the 40lbs and shaving your head, so that you can be a "sexy" V10 hiring partner.
37 -- don't you mean Skadden DC associate?
Either that (what I mentioned in 37), or I'll wear my pants around my ankles with a dildo in my ass that has a sign on it saying, "Partner," and I'll explain that I'm a first year associate. Although, in reality, I guess I'd be wearing that at the office that night, since I won't be free to go to a halloween party.
I too am a hater of the nervous T-10 bucket of mansuck.
Please kindly remove yourself from this life.
SMULS 3L
19, then I guess 14 won't be dressing up as you....
what a shitty piece of filler this blog post is. You better be working on some more layoff dirt!
What's a SMU? Is it something to worry about?
You could go as me, corrupt governor trying to become president, I mean, vice president. That would require a massive influx of money from the RNC, a portion of which you must use to buy your youngest daughter a $1000 purse.
Sarah Palin
Anyone remember that obese woman who become physically attached to her toilet seat after spending the better part of a year never leaving her bathroom?
The costume is obvious and has the sexy built right in.
39, can you back that up? I don't work for Skadden, but they are solid; I don't believe they are cutting and running.
Hey 46--the boyfriend who left that girl on the toilet for a year just hit the lottery--for the second time! So any girl going with the toilet seat stuck to her ass can add to the fun by having their significant other go dressed up like The Million Dollar Man or maybe the guy from Monopoly.
We could all go as nervous T10 1L....
48 - nice
49 - where would you find a gian douche though?
I will be attending this year's festivities as The Ass of Cravath, complete with a line of CWT and Schulte associates following me with the 3ply to wipe at will.

I think paper mache is the answer.

53: awesome. "Sexy Jesus" or "Sexy Lincoln" are the best. And, as a matter of fact, I would love to "four score" with Ms. Lincoln, despite the beard.
28- believe you meant "Dawgs" fan. One night at the Landing for FL/GA should show you that.
I had friends who dressed up as Harvey Birdman and his female counterpart. Very cool, except the wings were a little ridiculous.
The Gator Fan costume isn't complete unless the Jorts are accentuated with a Tebow jersey and Jesus sandals.
Halloween. The one night a year all girls dress slutty.
i'll be going as a socially able, well-adjusted professional with adequate free time and the respect of my peers and elders.

What about the slutty pumpkin?
You could dress like a homeless man and claim you are a heah-hunter
Devi's Advocate. Figure it out.
Kash, I love you. Thanks for sharing your Halloween pics.
Guys in my high school used to dress up as a sexy defense attorneys all the time. No big deal.
The easiest is a devil: wear horns and a sexy red outfit, carry a pitchfork.
I can second the Skadden DC comment! They've laid off staff attorneys AND associates! If Elie would get his head out of his ass, he'd follow up with the firm. Hell, I sent an email to him MONTHS ago with a tip regarding staff attorney layoffs. I could put him in touch with current staff attorneys who know all about the layoffs and several people who were laid off within the same week or two.
Threadwinner: 61.
yes.....it is.
During first year of law school, buddy and I finally escaped the library at 9pm and rummaged through his closet for costumes on the way to a party. Each put a suit on backwards, and went as Bakke & Bakke, reverse discrimination lawyers. God, law students are annoying... (got laid after the party by a dental assistant from Reno, though, so there's that...)
71- Re: "Dental assistant from Reno"
Do you mean unemployed, liar, meth-addict, or white trash?
Speaking of sexy prosecutors and dressing up to play judge, y'all should check out the Louisville race for district court judge--King v. Holton.
King is a rich party girl and inexperienced prosecutor with her daddy's expense account for the campaign and some interesting skeletons in the closet; Holton is Kentucky's first blind judge, family guy with a cute guide dog who I've never heard anything bad about (except the obvious, how can he see evidence being authenticated or judge the demeanor of witnesses).
Included in the mix this week was local news breaking the story that King might be getting disciplined for calling her boss in the County Attorney's Office a "fucking cunt bitch." That's after drug allegations and 911 calls after fights with her boyfriend(s).
Can someone please call her and tell her that Judge Halverson is looking for a job advising judicial campaigns? I'll give you $5. :)
I feel sad for Holton since he can't watch all this unfold on the news.
I can't believe nobody else did this (or has mentioned it or something similar)
At UPenn from at least 2002-2005 (and beyond?), a group of students threw a "Tortfeasor's Ball" each year - the idea was to have everyone show up as tortfeasors (e.g. a person dressed as a Morton's salt can, accompanied by a friend dressed as a Duracell battery...assault and battery), but others took this concept outside the realm of torts (I remember someone showing up as "International Shoe"). Yes it was corny, but turnout increased every year and the costumes got more and more ridiculous - I know I forgot the best ones...
