With “Florida
Man” stuck at home, Florida lawyers are apparently picking up the slack
in the Goofiness Stakes.
A judge in
Florida has requested that lawyers who appear before his court in
teleconferences be out of bed and dressed. Swimming suits don’t count as clothing.
According
to his letter to the Weston Bar Association, one male lawyer appeared before
the court shirtless, and one female lawyer appeared while still in bed, under
the covers; others were clearly lounging poolside.
I assume that
any punishment for Contempt of Court citations in this matter would be served
under house arrest.
