Halloween is always a terrific time for members of the legal community \u2014 especially law students \u2014 who are able to celebrate the holiday\u2019s festivities with costumes of note. As usual, we want to see your creativity in action.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the winning looks from the past few years of the contest: the\u00a0Donald J. Trump College of Law<\/a>\u00a0(2016),\u00a0Brett Kavanaugh\u2019s calendar and his beer<\/a>\u00a0(2018),\u00a0Ruth Baby Ginsburg<\/a>\u00a0(2020), Warhol\u2019s Soup Law<\/a>\u00a0(2023), RFK Jr. & Severed Whale Head<\/a> (2024), and Lady Justice, 2025 A.D.<\/a> (2025).<\/p>\n
