Requests That Paralegal Be Removed To Not Distract Jury

A Chicago lawyer is being accused of sexism after requesting that a "large breasted woman" seated at the opposing council's table be moved as to not distract the jury.

Attorney Thomas Gooch, who is representing a Rolling Meadows car dealership in a small claims case, filed a motion last week asking Cook County Circuit Judge Anita Rivkin-Carothers to order his opposing council's paralegal to sit in the gallery with other spectators, according to the Associated Press.

Gooch claims that the woman sitting next to the plaintiff's lawyer has no legal experience and was placed there to "draw the attention of the jury away from the relevant proceedings."

Dmitry N. Feofanov, who is representing a couple that purchased an automobile from Exotic Motors, told Jezebel the motion involving his paralegal, Daniella Atencia, was without merit.
