In the past the law ball’s theme has radically altered the big night’s dress code, often guiding the massive decision to wear either black or blue.

This year, students face the puzzling task of interpreting how ‘hopgoodganim’ can affect their wardrobe.

“I’ll probably go as a frog or something, they can hop good” said Dan Gerrard (19), law student and generally confused bloke.

“Or maybe a kangaroo or grasshopper, some sort of animal that is a hopper for sure,” he continued.

“It’s Latin for something isn’t it?” asked one Econ student with a mate that does law.

“I’ll go as a Tom Cruise in TopGun,” said John who still is trying to find an event to wear his accidentally ordered Top Gun costume.

“It’s just cocktail right?” guessed a sleep deprived second year.

Those who have clerked at Hopgoodganim have decided to take a different approach, with some students deciding to dress up as their favourite Hopgood partner.

“I’ll go as that handsome injury lawyer on level six” said Caitlin who is hoping to secure a full-time position at the firm next year.

However the theme’s interpreted, it’s a guarantee everyone’s outfits will still smell like mimosa by 10pm.

Let’s hop(e) there’s no more to come.
