: Ms. JDFederal Judges Complain About the Attire of Women Lawyers
By Kat
At a recent judges' panel discussion at the Seventh Circuit Bar Association meeting, U.S. District Court Judge Joan Lefkow made a comment about the inappropriate dressing of some women lawyers. This opened the floodgates for similar complaints from other judges on the panel and the the majority-male audience. The topic also proved to be one of contention.
Women come into court wearing "skirts so short that there's no way they can sit down and blouses so short there's no way the judges wouldn't look," said Judge Michael McCuskey, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois and a panel member. One female voice in the audience responded to this that someone should help save McCuskey from himself.
