“Florida Man” Makes Way for Florida Lawyers



April 15, 2020

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.
