Texas Lawyer's Courtroom Dress Questioned by Judge During HearingPreviousNext

Texas lawyer Mariah Medina shared an incident where Judge Yolanda Huff questioned her courtroom attire, calling her shift dress inappropriate for a jury trial and suggesting she wear a blazer. Medina, who has worn the dress on television and in other courts without issue, expressed disappointment over the judge's comments. The judge reportedly referred to the dress as a "tank top," while Medina maintained it was suitable business attire. Medina said she would follow court dress rules but found the interaction surprising.
