Question

(I mean legal-wig for barristers-at-law)

Answer 1

In the English legal profession, both barristers and solicitors are what Americans call lawyers. The differences between them, though, have long mattered more than what they have in common. In the past year, what matters most seems to be who gets to wear what.

Only barristers-in-training study in one of the four Inns of Court in London, which are crosses between learned societies and choosy guilds. When students pass their exams, they are literally called to the bar in their inn's dining hall and admitted to practice law before the English courts. Newly minted barristers acquire two garments: a billowing black robe and a double-tabbed linen band that serves as a collar, with the tabs said to represent the tablets of Moses. Then barrisiters are fitted for the retro symbol of their standing and attainment—their wigs.

Most new barristers find their way near the Inns of Court to Ede & Ravenscroft, England's leading wigmaker. On display are handmade hairpieces to suit every rank: Barristers wear "tie-wigs," which cover half the head; judges buy the larger, frizzier "bob-wigs"; and, on ceremonial occasions, senior barristers, judges, and members of the House of Lords don the floppy, shoulder-length "spaniel wigs." Ede & Ravenscroft's white horsesehair, or "forensic," wig was patented in 1822. (The white horsehair replaced black; the black horsehair wig had ended a grisly trade in human hair.) The forensic wig requires no regular curling or powdering and maintains a fresh scent. This convenience comes at a price: Wigs range from £400 to £2,000 ($600 to $3,000). Taxpayers foot the bill for judges' wigs; barristers, who pay for their own, sometimes shop for used wigs. Most barristers invest in one wig for a lifetime, and a discolored or disheveled hairpiece is a mark of a long career—one's own or someone else's. ....
