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.

Here’s a spooky one that you may remember from your fed courts class: it’s an E(e)rie guess.
