« Whoodwin | Main | A Little Extra Something » British Courts Doffing Their WigsIt's a sad, sad thing indeed. I love those wigs. Ending (at least for now) a long, hot debate over whether and how to modernize and simplify the elaborate standards of formal court dress, Lord Phillips, the Lord Chief Justice, decided to dispense with the wigs and with court robes entirely in all civil and family cases, and to simplify them in criminal court. Some feel that the wigs are elitist, emphasizing the distinction between solicitors and barristers. I just love them because they're British. By min | July 18, 2007, 10:33 AM | Ummm... Other? |
