ATL’s Legally Themed Halloween Costume Contest: The Finalists (2020)
Who will be the winner of our eleventh annual competition?
Just before Halloween, we asked our readers to submit their legally themed costumes to us for our annual contest. We got a great crop of entries, and there are a lot of pets and babies involved this year thanks to the pandemic and the lack of socially distanced parties going on. We think you’re going to like them a lot.
We’ve got five awesome finalists for you to choose from, and voting starts today. Who will be the winner of the eleventh year of our competition?
Let’s start off with this strong submission. Our finalist explains his costume thusly:

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires a permit for any discharge of dredged or fill material into “waters of the United States.” Not properly procuring one results in a procedural error. Assuming the actual Schitt’s Creek is a tributary of a navigable water, it is a WOTUS under both Rapanos v. United States, 547 U.S. 715 (2006) and the Navigable Waters Protection Rule (2020), and any discharge (schitt) going into it would therefore require a Section 404 permit.
Next up, we’ve got a contestant with some learned paws. This adorable kitty is dressed up as a WUSTL Law tax professor, and his costume is handmade.
