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 even some creative costumes related to political pop culture. We think you’re going to like them a lot.
We’ve got four awesome finalists for you to choose from, and voting starts today. Who will be the winner of the fifteenth year of our competition?
Let’s start off with this strong submission: it’s none other than the G.O.A.T., Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This costume is NO-NO-NO-NOTORIOUS(ly) well done.
Protégé™ In CourtLink® Explains The Whole Case Faster
Designed to reduce manual docket work by prioritizing what litigators need most: on-demand full docket summarization that explains the whole case to date, followed by on-demand document summaries for filing triage, and AI-powered natural language searching for faster search and retrieval.

Next up, we’ve got a contestant with some squirmy-brain-wormy problems. It’s RFK, Jr. with a severed whale head on his car for which he was under federal investigation.

Here’s a spooky one that you may remember from your fed courts class: it’s an E(e)rie guess.
Keeping Law School Accessible When Federal Loans Fall Short
As federal borrowing caps tighten financing options for law students, one organization is stepping in to negotiate the terms they can't secure alone.

Last, but certainly not least, we’ve got the bane of the average law student’s existence — The Bluebook.

You’ve seen the finalists, so now it’s time to vote. Who wore the best law-related Halloween costume this year? It’s all up to you! Polls close on THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, at 11:30 P.M. (Eastern time).
