Florida (lawyer) Man Strikes Again

Apparently Lawyers In Florida Are Zooming Into Court Hearings Shirtless And From Bed
quote:
At least one male attorney showed up to a recent virtual Zoom court hearing shirtless to represent his client, while another attorney was still in bed, under the covers — prompting a Florida judge to remind attorneys, although they are telecommuting, to "treat court hearings as court hearings."
"We've seen many lawyers in casual shirts and blouses, with no concern for ill-grooming, in bedrooms with the master bed in the background," Broward County Judge Dennis Bailey, who sits on the board of the Weston Bar Association, wrote in a message to lawyers. "And putting on a beach cover-up won't cover up you're poolside in a bathing suit."
quote:
But in the letter to attorneys, Bailey cautioned lawyers that the casual nature that some people adopt during work-related Zoom meetings does not apply to the courtroom — even if it is a virtual one.
"The judges would appreciate it if the lawyers and their clients keep in mind these Zoom hearings are just that: hearings," Bailey wrote. "They are not casual phone conversations."

I argued motions before a federal court judge without pants on yesterday. 2020 is awesome.

My 3 month old got bit by a bug yesterday and kinda freaked out so we telemed-ed with the on-call doctor at our pediatrician’s office mostly for my wife’s sanity. I was the one on the call at like 3 pm in pajamas and bed head. I had been working upstairs but looked roughhhh. I’m sure the doctor thought I was an unemployed bum and double-checked to see what kind of health insurance we had

This is the start of the unofficial Florida man song.
Florida man, Florida man,
He can cause disfunction like no one can.
Florida man, Florida man
Causing havoc like no one can
That’s Florida Man.

My office is in my bedroom so without putting a sheet over the bedposts, you are going to see my bed.
