I regret to report that a disturbing trend has emerged at the law school. Apparently, somewhere between midterms and the looming threat of finals, we collectively decided that personal style was an unnecessary luxury. All I see is wave after wave of hoodies and sweatpants swallowing up the free food table. Whatever happened to a bit of decency and decorum?
With Halloqueen this Friday, I expect everyone to reclaim their whimsy, abandon their worksonas, and show up in some amazing costumes. Consider this your formal notice.
To help everyone out (as law students are not known for their creativity), we’ve prepared a list of possible law school-related costumes:
Group Costumes
The hunters and the fox from Pierson v. Post
Miss Demeanor & Miss Trial
The issue spotter and the issue
The captain, first mate, and cabin boy (Regina v. Dudley & Stephens)
