Broward Circuit Judge Dennis Bailey issued a letter in which he asked lawyers to dress appropriately for hearings.
A Florida judge is begging lawyers to get out bed and put on clothes for court meetings on Zoom.
Broward County Circuit Judge Dennis Bailey issued a letter published to the Weston Bar Association's website in which he asked lawyers to dress appropriately for hearings, even when they're working remotely.Bailey said some lawyers have had"no concern for ill-grooming" in recent weeks as they work from home amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"One male lawyer appeared shirtless and one female attorney appeared still in bed, still under the covers. And putting on a beach cover-up won't cover up you're poolside in a bathing suit," he said."So, please, if you don't mind, let's treat court hearings as court hearings, whether Zooming or not." According to the Miami Herald, family court meetings are taking place digitally at the moment, while criminal and civil courts are still working toward moving online."I would want [attorneys] dressed, showing some respect for their recognition that this is a court hearing," he said.
Bailey also said that wearing jeans and a T-shirt to a court hearing is"counterproductive" for a lawyer.Read the original article on Insider
