Federal Judge Tells Women Lawyers Not To Dress Like ‘An Ignorant Slut’ | ThinkProgress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Judge Richard Kopf, a George H.W. Bush appointee to a federal court in Nebraska, offered some strange advice to women litigators in a piece posted to his personal blog on Tuesday: don\u2019t wear clothing that would cause \u201cthe female law clerks\u201d to call you \u201can ignorant slut behind your back.\u201d<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Kopf\u2019s comments were a reaction to a Slate piece by Amanda Hess entitled \u201cFemale Lawyers Who Dress Too \u2018Sexy\u2019 Are Apparently a \u2018Huge Problem\u2019 in the Courtroom<\/a>.\u201d Judge Kopf\u2019s piece has the more provocative title \u201cOn being a dirty old man and how young women lawyers dress<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Among other things, Kopf\u2019s piece reveals that he has \u201cbeen a dirty old man ever since I was a very young man. Except, that is, when it comes to my daughters (and other young women that I care deeply about).\u201d And it includes a description of a \u201cvery pretty female lawyer\u201d who practices in his court. \u201cShe is brilliant, she writes well, she speaks eloquently, she is zealous but not overly so, she is always prepared, she treats others, including her opponents, with civility and respect, she wears very short skirts and shows lots of her ample chest. I especially appreciate the last two attributes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The guy needs to be retired. Now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
