COURT CLOSET

Dressed with Dignity

Why Court Clothing?

  • * restore a sense of dignity and confidence during the most vulnerable times in a person’s life;

    * remove one of hundreds of barriers to full access to justice; and

    * recognize the basic humanity in all people despite their current circumstances.

  • * dignity, equity, fairness, community care and respect;

    * the hope and the dream of true justice for all.

  • * This organization has been the passion project of Jenni Louis-Jeune for over 15 years.

    * It is rooted in firsthand experience as a federal indigent defense attorney who recognized very early in her career that something as simple as wearing court-appropriate clothing, not jail issued jumpers, impact the dignity, confidence and fairness in the courtroom.

    * This small, personal effort has grown into a sustained mission driven by compassion, persistence and the drive to build community,
