Thanks to the novel coronavirus, it sure seems like 2020 has been all trick and no treat. But it’s the great pandemic, Charlie Brown, and Halloween happened very recently. You know what that means: members of the legal community — especially law students — donned their favorite witty costumes in socially distanced small gatherings or via Zoom to have some fun.
For the eleventh 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 when they take their noses out of their books. This year, they’ll have to get even more creative because of COVID-19, so we’re giving out bonus points for the best masks.
Here are the winning looks from the past few years of the contest: Nefarious RBG (2015), the Donald J. Trump College of Law (2016), The Bluebook (2017), Brett Kavanaugh’s calendar and his beer (2018), and 1Ls dressed as their Con Law professor in his “school uniform” (2019). Take a look if you need some inspiration.
