Superior Court Judge Mark Anthony Scott has declared his courtroom "business casual" on Fridays, meaning men don't have to don a tie or jacket during hearings and pleadings held during humid Georgia summers. While some local judges expressed surprise and skepticism about the new policy, Scott said there would be safeguards against "poor dress." The relaxed standards also apply to women, but Scott added with a smile, "no Daisy Duke attire, please."

When he was in private practice, Mark Anthony Scott thought many attorneys and litigants were fearful in court. Now that he’s a member of the DeKalb County Superior Court in Georgia, he’s figured out a way to make visitors to his courtroom feel more comfortable — at least on Fridays.
During a hearing last month, Scott announced from the bench that his courtroom would be going “business casual” for the last day of the workweek.
