Halloween is a little more than a week away, and once again, everyone in the legal community is getting excited for a weekend full of debauchery in their favorite naughty costumes.
For the fifth year in a row, we here at Above the Law are soliciting legally themed costumes for our annual Halloween contest. We’re continually impressed with how creative lawyers and law students can be outside of their natural habitats.
Have you got what it takes to top the winners of years past? We hope so!

Skills That Set Firms Apart
Legal expertise alone isn’t enough. Today’s most successful firms invest in developing the skills that drive collaboration, leadership, and business growth. Our on-demand, customizable training modules deliver practical, high-impact learning for attorneys and staff—when and where they need it.
If you’re in need of inspiration, here are the winning looks from the past four years of the contest, Assault and Battery (2010), Grandfather Clause (2011), Original Intent (2012), and Ruth Baby Ginsburg (2013):
Please email us your pictures and then we’ll vote right after Halloween. We look forward to judging you!
