So one of your friends has decided to be that person who organises a law-themed party, because you know, you can never be too extra about the fact you’re a law student. While everyone turns up in a suit and pretends they didn’t have time for a change of clothing after their paralegal shift, you’re going to be a tad more adventurous.
1. Judge

*Bonus points if it's Judge Judy.
2. Assault and Battery

Works best as a couple costume. Think a salt shaker and a lithium battery.
3. Prisoner

Self-explanatory and easy if you already own a striped t-shirt or anything orange.
4. Harvey Dent/Two-Face
source // giphy
Harvey Dent makes the list due to his District Attorney credentials. You either die a hero, or study long enough to see yourself become a lawyer.
5. Police Officer

It’s not a (costume) party unless there’s at least one police officer present.
6. Hung Juror
This involves a sign that says ‘Juror’ and either a noose or speedos. You decide. See image for inspiration.
7. The snail from Donoghue v Stevenson

Commitment props to you if you only drink ginger beer that night.
8. Scales of Justice
source // giphy
Pros: More places to put your drinks
Cons: No free hands to hold them.
9. Elle Woods

No law themed costume party would be complete without Elle Woods.
10. Captain Reasonable Person

What would a reasonable person do in the circumstances? What would a reasonable person wear to the party? Captain Reasonable is bound to know!
11. Miss Demeanour
source // giphy
Channelling ‘misconduct,’ ‘misrepresentation’ and ‘mistrial.’ This works best if you if you are dressed to the nines with a sash that reads, for example, ‘conduct.’
12. A Paranoid Mockingbird
source // giphy
How To Kill A Mockingbird – still stealing our hearts, and the prize for ‘Most Creative Law Themed Costume.’
