Colleagues
I just returned from a visit to the “other”
London ( I am from London Ontario).
I made a pilgrimage to the Superior Court and the SCUK (whoever came up with
that acronym – is it really the Supreme Court of the UK?) and took
the obligatory photos of Old
Bailey Road. I was surprised to see that my
colleagues gown ( as I do) and wear a wig ( happily I do not) but the judges
were not gowned; they wore office suits. Is this new? Why are barristers
hanging on to the tradition but the judiciary are not? I hope we do not get rid
of the gown here, and certainly hope that judges continue to wear them. If
anyone understands the rationale, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Many thanks.
Barb
