I’ve been involved in some of these zoom hearings. The lawyers of color show up late because they had a headache, cats are roaming around, the judge is praising them to the high heavens even though they are unprofessional.

This reminds me of something. I worked in at a TV station and the sports guy would show up in shorts, mostly coming from the golf course. He kept a shirt, tie and sport coat in his little office and would put that on for the news cast. Looked absolutely ridiculous walking around the studio. He was the only guy who did most everything from a news desk, never standing in front of the green screen except winter months.

I have never done a zoom meeting where you see my pants. I usually just wear shorts as I do when I am at home.

The Judge in St. Joseph County, Michigan had a zoom meeting for a court hearing. It appeared obvious that the victim and the defendant were in the same room. The judge sent the police to investigate. Yup. Bond cancelled and off to jail.

No one has heard of ‘Pants Off Thursdays?’ It comes right before ‘Casual Fridays!’ ;)

It became popular during CovidBS-19 when we were all imprisoned Zoomin’ Fools!

That was Judge Jeff Middleton. His courtroom was on YouTube for a long time. He didn’t take crap from anyone.

I used to respect judges before I started seeing them in action.

Maybe I'm thick - but why were the victim and the defendant were in the same room?

There are a lot of people who think they can join Zoom online meetings without pants. It usually does not turn out well.

IIRC the defendant was intimidating the victim.
