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 three awesome finalists for you to choose from, and voting starts today. Who will be the winner of the sixteenth year of our competition?
But before we get to our finalists, we’ve got a super-cute honorable mention. Aww, it’s none other than Ruth Baby Ginsburg.
