A Florida judge has one request for attorneys showing up for court hearings via Zoom: Get out of bed and put on some clothes!

Broward Circuit Judge Dennis Bailey made the plea in a letter published by the Weston Bar Association, news outlets reported.

�It is remarkable how many ATTORNEYS appear inappropriately on camera,� Bailey said in the letter. �One male lawyer appeared shirtless and one female attorney appeared still in bed, still under the covers.�

Bailey isn�t making any exceptions for lawyers lounging in the Florida sunshine, either.

�Putting on a beach cover-up won�t cover up you�re poolside in a bathing suit,� he wrote.

Since courthouses shut down on March 16 to help slow the coronavirus pandemic, Broward County�s judicial system has held about 1,200 Zoom meetings involving some 14,000 participants, WPLG-TV reported.

Bailey, for one, said he won�t hold a complicated trial over the video conferencing site, given the technology�s shortcomings.

�Often, lawyers are not looking at their screens but down at their files, their outlines and notes, or simply out the window, and cannot see the judge is hollering �Stop! Stop!� because an objection has been made and the audio stays with the witness rather than obeying the judge,� he said.
