Description
Wig – Barrister Judge White
Courtroom wigs and robes are old schools, like King George III old school. But 21st-century British judges and barristers (AKA British lawyers) still wear the same garb when they go to court.
British courts started wearing robes in the 14th century, but not just the standard black we often see in pictures. Medieval judges wore colors ranging from green, violet, and red depending on the season; black became the standard color at the end of the 17th century when Britain went into mourning for King Charles II.
