  • November 25, 2019

It's a Prom, Not a Burlesque Show! is the 69th episode of the sixth season of Hot Bench, a courtroom series that airs on CBS. In this episode, a young woman claims that she was unfairly suspended from her high school prom after being accused of violating the dress code. The plaintiff argues that her dress was appropriate, but the school's administration took issue with it because they felt it was too revealing. On the other hand, the defendant, who is a teacher at the school, maintains that the dress was in fact inappropriate for the event and violated the school's policies.

The plaintiff, who is representing herself, presents several pieces of evidence to support her case. She shows photos of her dress, which she believes is not too revealing, and notes that several other girls at the prom were wearing similarly revealing outfits. Additionally, she calls several witnesses, including her mother, who testify that the dress was appropriate for the event.

The defendant, who is also representing herself, argues that the plaintiff's dress was too revealing and violated the school's dress code, which required dresses to be "appropriate for a school function." She shows photos of other girls at the prom who were wearing more modest dresses and argues that the plaintiff's dress was significantly more revealing than these other outfits. Additionally, she calls several witnesses, including other teachers and members of the school administration, who testify that the plaintiff's dress was not appropriate for the event and that the plaintiff was warned in advance about the school's dress code.

Throughout the episode, the judges carefully analyze the evidence presented by both sides and ask probing questions to both the plaintiff and the defendant. They consider the school's dress code policy, the plaintiff's intentions, and the social norms surrounding dress at proms. Ultimately, they must decide whether the plaintiff's dress was appropriate for the event and whether the school was justified in suspending her from prom.

As with all episodes of Hot Bench, It's a Prom, Not a Burlesque Show! offers a unique and compelling glimpse into the American legal system. By focusing on cases that are often resolved outside of court, the series offers viewers a chance to see the legal process in action and to learn about the various factors that judges consider when making decisions. With its engaging judges, captivating cases, and thought-provoking discussions, Hot Bench is a must-watch for anyone interested in law, justice, and the American legal system.
