Judges in wigs

October 1, 2008

Apparently judges in the UK till yesterday still wore horsehair wigs in court.  I never imagined this would still be happening.  In any case, the administrative court judges (civil) will stop wearing it starting today.  However, the criminal court judges will continue on with the head gear – in case they meet a criminal that they recently sentenced in the street….

The late night talk shows (if they exist) in the UK must be having a field day with this.
