History of Legal Regalia for Barristers
History of legal regalia for barristers When we visualise a lawyer we probably picture a man or woman wearing a wig, black gown and bib. While this stereotype persists, legal wigs in New Zealand are generally reserved for ceremonial purposes only. Nonetheless they continue to be the defining image of a barrister at work. New Zealand’s legal system was derived from the English system, including its traditional attire. Gowns Barrister’s gowns date back as far as the reign of King Edward III in the 14th century. In this period fur and silk lined robes were established as a mark of high judicial office. This was based on the correct dress for attending the royal court of the day. These gowns changed with the seasons, generally green in the summer and violet in the winter, with red for special occasions. The plain black gown, most commonly seen on barristers in New Zealand today, was adopted in 1685 as a result of the bar going into mourning over the death of King Charles II. Today legal gowns are compulsory for New Zealand barristers when appearing in the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. However, a more individual style of dress is acceptable in District Courts and Tribunals. Gowns are also worn by junior barristers in bar admission ceremonies, along with the traditional wig and bib. “Money bags” Perhaps the strangest aspect of legal attire is the triangular piece of robe which can be seen attached to the back left shoulder of a barrister’s gown. While you could be forgiven for thinking this is some sort of manufacturer’s folly, this piece of material (which awkwardly hangs of the back) is said to represent a pocket or “money bag”.

Sixth Amendment Challenge to Courthouse Dress Codes
SIXTH AMENDMENT CHALLENGE TO COURTHOUSE DRESS CODES Courthouses with dress codes require the public to conform to par- ticular standards of attire in order to enter. They may be specific — for example, refusing entry to people wearing shorts, tank tops, hats, or clothing with writing or logos — or general — requiring that all clothing meet a standard like “appropriate”1 or not “dirty, slovenly, bizarre, re- vealing, or immodest.”2 Where, as in the vast majority of courthouses,3 the public must pass through a security checkpoint, the dress code is enforced by security officers at the point of entry.4 Dress codes therefore delegate to security officers the authority to decide who may enter to observe court proceedings, based on their own determinations of who is dressed “appropriately” and who is not. Largely unconstrained discretion to exclude members of the public from courthouses, and from criminal proceedings in particular, threatens three distinct harms. First, it weakens the key constitutional principle of popular access to, and control over, the courts. Public access to the courts is protected by the First Amendment, Sixth Amendment, Due Process Clauses, and Privileges and Immunities Clause.5 These guar- antees recognize the importance of public access as both a safeguard of individual liberty and an assertion of popular sovereignty: as the Supreme Court said in In re Oliver,6 “[t]he knowledge that every crimi- nal trial is subject to contemporaneous review in the forum of public opinion is an effective restraint on possible abuse of judicial power.”7 But if members of the public can be arbitrarily excluded by the govern- ment they are supposed to check, such “contemporaneous review” prom- ises little bite.

The 'Royal Court'
Kensington Palace: The Mantua For centuries there had been an understanding that clothes worn at court should be special and expensive. The high costs for dressing according to the strict codes served as an entry ticket to court in the 18th century. The ‘royal court’ Only the wealthy elite could afford the elaborate silk garments decorated with exquisite embroidery, delicate lace and precious jewellery. refers to the extended Courtiers also needed to have a number of these garments as not to household of a monarch offend the monarch, and to keep up with the rest of the glittering circle.

Appropriate Attire and Conduct for an Attorney in the Court Room
APPROPRIATE ATTIRE AND CONDUCT FOR AN ATTORNEY IN THE COURT ROOM Rules of etiquette and decorum facilitate the smooth and orderly functioning of a complex society. Most rules of etiquette are designed to insure respect for authority and to maintain dignity within a profes- sion. Some rules, however, serve only to reinforce tradition and to pro- mote the majority's taste and preferences. When rules of etiquette serve only to reinforce the majority's taste, an individual's freedom of expression is curtailed. That individual cannot express his own unique life style which may differ from traditional views or the majority's pref- erences. A balance, therefore, must be met between allowing a busi- ness to maintain its professional dignity and allowing an individual to express his or her own lifestyle.' The struggle between maintaining dignity in a profession and per- mitting freedom in an individual's lifestyle is most pronounced in the rules of decorum related to an attorney's dress and conduct in a court- room. The rules date back to the regulation of a barrister's dress in English courts. The English court's authority to regulate a barrister's dress was traditionally based on the court's power and control over the att~rney.~Although today, in the United States, a court's authority to regulate an attorney's dress is partially based on statutory rules of conduct and ethics, the court's authority is still largely based on this traditional English view. 11. ETHICAL RULES RELATED TO COURTROOMATTIRE Most courtroom dress requirements today are unwritten.

Forms of Dress and Address in the Higher Courts and Some Practical Tips
Forms of dress and address in the Higher Courts and some practical tips Court dress Court dress in the criminal courts is easily identifiable as there is specific guidance from the Lord Chief Justice in the form of the Criminal Procedure Directions General Application A: COURT DRESS. However that guidance is limited, to appearing without robes or wigs in the magistrates, and in the crown court wearing gowns and wigs. Wigs are wigs, and for junior advocates only come in one type, no matter which side of the advocate divide you fall on. The gown is always a Solicitors' gown. These basics should also be accompanied by a collar and bands (or collarette for female advocates) which are the same for both sexes and both professions. In the civil courts, there is even less guidance, the last formal guidance having been withdrawn. Discussions abound and as always guidance is said to be due to be released shortly. What dress is expected often varies dependent upon the judge, and you will learn from experience and advice from court clerks. In the Senior Courts (Higher Courts), the dress for civil cases is normally robed, however, there are many variations to this. For instance, urgent Queen's Bench Division (QBD) cases are normally argued un-robed, unless they are committal cases in which instance they are often robed. Many of the specialist courts also see advocates normally appearing unrobed. Unisex dress advice Suits must be black, navy blue or dark charcoal grey and same for shoes. Bands and collarettes should be starched. Hair should not poke out below the sides of your wig.

To Recommend Appropriate Court Dress to Barristers
Court Dress Purpose: To recommend appropriate court dress to barristers. Scope of application: All practising barristers Issued by: The Legal Services Committee First issued: June 2009 Last reviewed: July 2020 Status and effect: Please see the notice at end of this document. This is not “guidance” for the purposes of the BSB Handbook I6.4. 1. This note provides general guidance to members of the Bar on appropriate Court dress when appearing as Counsel. The guidance is not intended to effect any change in Court clothing norms. It is, however, intended to provide a ready guide as to what clothing will generally be expected and acceptable, reflecting the seriousness of the function Counsel perform in Court, the role of Court dress as the uniform of the profession, and the need for such uniform to be inclusive of different religious practice. 2. The table below sets out those Courts where court dress is required, namely, wigs, gowns, wing-collars and bands or collarettes. In all other cases, “business attire” is worn. What that means, and how that applies to specific religions and beliefs that have particular clothing requirements or customs is considered further below. 3. In general, business attire means smart dark office wear. This will usually mean a black, dark grey or dark blue suit with tie for men, and, for women, a similarly coloured jacket and either skirt or trousers but this is not prescriptive. Counsel may wear clothing as appropriate to their chosen gender or any gender. 4. The definition of “Trial” includes any final hearing in Court of a Claim brought under CPR Part 7 or CPR Part 8 (including preliminary issues), any final hearing in Court of a contested Petition for Divorce, or Nullity, and any hearing in Court of a winding up or bankruptcy petition, but not including an application for Default or Summary Judgment.

The Reconstruction and Presentation of a French Court Dress
The Reconstruction and Presentation of a French Court Dress Dr. Johannes Pietsch Curator of Dress and Textiles, Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Munich, Germany Abstract: In 1996 the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum acquired twenty single pieces of embroidered satin that seemed to be the parts of a complete dress. Careful examination and documentation showed that the dress had originally been made as a robe à la française around 1780 and altered a few years later to a robe à l’anglaise. The last modification had been carried out in the late nineteenth century. The second stage, the shape of the robe à l’anglaise, could be reconstructed completely. Today it is quite a sensational costume because it seems to be the only French court gown in this particular shape that has survived. A small exhibition was created around this extraordinary dress. One part consisted of the history and the reconstruction of the court dress. The second section was about professional embroidery on garments in the late eighteenth century and how these were produced. Content: Reconstruction of the Court Dress / Mounting the Dress / The Studio Exhibition / Conclusion Reconstruction of the Court Dress In 1996 the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum acquired the Lillian Williams costume collection of over 800 garments and accessories. This included twenty single pieces of embroidered satin that seemed to be the parts of a complete dress. As the delicate embroidery is of extraordinary quality, there was a strong wish to present a complete dress to the public, if possible. In the end it was actually feasible to reconstruct the gown. The practical work was carried out by textile conservator Charlotte Holzer who worked on this project for one year.
