Probably the story that bothered me the most was from a black woman defender who said that she didn’t know if she could both wear her hair naturally and be as effective of an advocate. Impossible decisions.

Note: This is why I carry two forms of ID when going to court. It’s actually come in handy when I was getting hassled before

In the 70s my grandma was thrown out of traffic court by a judge for the Cardinal Sin of wearing slacks to contest a ticket.

Can't you win your case, then come back and sue the judge for sexual harrassment?

Think of it like being hit by a truck while crossing in a marked crosswalk with the right of way: you have a great chance of winning the personal injury lawsuit, but you still get hit by the truck, have to deal with the pain & injuries, and go through the legal process.

I used to be a court reporter and many judges didn’t want female attorneys or court reporters to wear pants! It’s not myth! They’ll take it out on you. With reporters they call recesses so you don’t make pages for the time you’re in their court.

When I was an ADA in Queens NY in late 80s we were not allowed to appear in court in pants, suit or otherwise. It took an Appellate Division decision directing the judges to permit it.

This was a story when I went to law school 20 years earlier. There were even specific judge names in Chicago. It's likely a) often, b) many degrees, or c) both of the above.

This happened all the time. So much so that I recall that a law or court rule had to be passed in California forbidding judges from punishing women who wore pantsuits to court.
