Why do judges and lawyers wear fake hoods in court?

* * Now, lawyers will appear in court wearing robes and wigs. Solemn dress represents respect for the law, and at the same time, it has different meanings behind it. Wigs are used to conceal the identity of lawyers, so that judges will not make judgments based on their age, gender and appearance. There is a small bag behind the lawyer's robe. Wearing a lawyer's robe represents the lawyer's remuneration, and he should try his best to solve the problem for the client. * * In the past, it was one of the most distinctive traditions of British courts for judges and lawyers to wear wigs in court. In some former British colonies deeply influenced by the British judicial system, we can also see this cultural imprint with British characteristics, such as the China Special Administrative Region. Why do British judges and lawyers wear wigs? Many people who study history have put forward various explanations, but it is difficult to convince everyone. Some people say that in the Middle Ages, overwork and illness made judicial personnel lose all their hair prematurely. In order to hide their "glory" in public, wigs became popular and became a scene of the British court. Some people say that 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. Because according to a recent survey, 57% lawyers are not satisfied with wearing wigs and want to take them off. The reason is that these wig made of horse hair are expensive but unsanitary. Generally, a wig will last a lifetime. A lawyer's family has a 94-year-old antique, which has been handed down for four generations and can be called a family heirloom. According to the research of historians and folklorists, the fashion tradition of wearing wigs in Britain began in 12 century. At that time, it was not just 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. Experts pointed out that wigs used by judicial organs are different from ordinary wigs. In England, there are three curls on each side of the judicial wig, but there are only two in the royal family. Whether this represents a subtle metaphorical meaning is unknown. But Scots always quarrel with English people, because in Scotland, the situation is just the opposite, the royal family uses three curly wigs, and the judicial personnel only have two curly wigs. When lawyers appear in court to defend clients, people may immediately think of lawyers' robes and wigs. In fact, there is a difference between a barrister and a lawyer in court. The sleeves of the barrister's robe are relatively long. There is a small bag in front of the barrister's robe and a long belt at the back. There are different opinions about the source of this small bag: one is to let the parties put money in as a reward in the past; Another explanation is that the bag evolved from the hood worn to mourn the death of King charles ii. In addition, barristers must wear wigs made of horse hair when appearing in the High Court and the Court of Final Appeal. These solemn costumes symbolize the dignity of the law. Wigs have the significance of hiding the personal identity of barristers, so that judges will not affect the referee because of the age, gender and appearance of barristers. At the same time, they emphasize that barristers do not appear in court as individuals and can maintain objectivity and fairness in litigation. In some countries, such as Canada and Singapore, there is no tradition of British people wearing wigs continuously, and American lawyers neither wear wigs nor robes. References:
