Am sure most of us, the science and any other course not related to LAW would be wondering why lawyers have to wear wig, is it compulsory or any reason behind this? 2 Shares

I wonder but I think it's somehow for identification because whenever you see that stuff on their head you would know that person is a lawyer |

One reason why they wear the white wigs and the black robes is to do with the rapid turnover of monarchs in the tudor period. It was a protest, 'mourning' the illegal (as they worked the courts and knew the cases were rigged) execution of Marie Queen Of Scots (amongst others). The wigs denote experience (through size) and also denote they are 'different' from their normals selves whilst in court and putting their personal emotions aside; whoever you are, you always have the right to an impartial, professional lawyer. Trust me, no matter what your views on bias in the law you want both sides balanced; I've worked with 'string-em-up' types who soon change their tune when accused of speeding or a late tax disk. Then they are glad that defense and prosecution are both always impartial. This is the same thinking as behind many uniforms- for example police, army, nurses - all say 'while I am on duty, I put my own feelings aside and represent the law/state/medical system'. |
