Why do lawyers wear white hoods on their heads?

This is a feature of the Anglo-American legal system, where most countries believe in God.

Judges and lawyers are engaged in the legal profession and represent God's judgment, which not only reminds them to be strict with themselves, but also represents God's judgment. It is generally understood that judges and lawyers wear wigs for "respect".

1. In the Middle Ages, excessive fatigue and illness made judicial officials lose all their hair prematurely. In order to hide their "cleverness" in public, wigs became popular and became a scene of the British court.

2. Judges wear wigs to show respect, and lawyers wear wigs to cover up and protect them to some extent, because they are worried that their defense results will not be recognized by the defendants and their families. But this is not so much a reasonable explanation as a joke made up by people who have problems with lawyers to discredit them.

According to the research of historians and folklorists, the fashion tradition of wearing wigs in Britain began in the12nd century, when it was not only the patent of judges and lawyers. People in the upper class regard wearing wigs as a fashion and a formal dress for formal occasions or salons.
