To the Editors:

"Too casual in the courtroom," Feb. 11, by staff writer Brett Hambright, discusses the lack of appropriate dress in court by defendants.

I have been in the courtroom for Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation on several different occasions.

Workers' Compensation Judge Tina Maria Rago has never been in her robe, was dressed very casually and snacked during the session.

I agree that defendants should show respect for courtroom proceedings, but our judges should set the standard for all who enter their courtroom.
