However, judges and <a href="/wiki/Prosecutor" title="Prosecutor">prosecutors</a> always wear white shirts and white neckties under their robes, as is customary for lawyers in criminal cases. </p><p>In German courts, court dress is worn by judges, public prosecutors, lawyers and court clerks. The design of the robe, which was established in Prussia in 1713 and has remained virtually unchanged ever since, allows the respective functions to be distinguished by the fabric trim on the collar and sleeves. For judges and public prosecutors, the trimming is made of velvet, for "Amtsanwälte" (lower-rank prosecutors) it is half-width velvet, for lawyers it is silk and for court clerks it is plain fabric. </p><p>The colour of judges' robes varies between different kinds of courts and branches of the judiciary. While at the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Court_of_Justice" title="Federal Court of Justice">Federal Court of Justice</a> in civil and criminal matters dark red robes with dark red velvet linings are always worn, lower courts – which are under the jurisdiction of the <a href="/wiki/States_of_Germany" title="States of Germany">German states</a> – use black in civil and criminal matters. Other branches of the judiciary (labour, administrative and social) use different colours of judges' robes. </p><p>In addition to the robe, the court dress of judges, public prosecutors and lawyers also includes a hat, the outside of which is made of the same fabric as the respective robe trim. In practice, the hat is no longer worn in most courts, with the exception of the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Constitutional_Court_of_Germany" class="mw-redirect" title="Federal Constitutional Court of Germany">Federal Constitutional Court</a>, where they are still worn by the judges. </p><p>While the colour of German judges' robes can vary, lawyers in all branches of the law nearly always wear black robes with silk trimmings while in court, with the exception of those admitted to the Federal Court of Justice Bar, in civil matters; these specially appointed attorneys in private practice also wear dark red robes with silk trimming. </p><p>The robes of lawyers and judges can be distinguished by the size and material of the lining. State prosecutors wear the same black robes as states' judges sitting in "ordinary" (criminal or civil) courts, while representatives of the <a href="/wiki/Public_Prosecutor_General_(Germany)" title="Public Prosecutor General (Germany)">Federal Public Prosecutor General</a> wear dark red robes like federal court judges. </p><p>At the Federal Constitutional Court, a different type of robe is used which is based on the historical court dress of the Italian town of <a href="/wiki/Florence" title="Florence">Florence</a>.

Prior to <a href="/wiki/Anglo-Irish_Treaty" title="Anglo-Irish Treaty">Independence</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Lord_Chancellor_of_Ireland" title="Lord Chancellor of Ireland">Lord Chancellor</a>, <a href="/wiki/Master_of_the_Rolls_in_Ireland" class="mw-redirect" title="Master of the Rolls in Ireland">Master of the Rolls</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Lord_Justice_of_Appeal" class="mw-redirect" title="Lord Justice of Appeal">Lords Justice of Appeal</a> in Ireland would have worn full ceremonial dress identical to their English equivalents, viz. long black damask robes with wide bands of gold lace and ornaments. The <a href="/wiki/Lord_Chief_Justice_of_Ireland" title="Lord Chief Justice of Ireland">Lord Chief Justice</a>, <a href="/wiki/List_of_Chief_Barons_of_the_Irish_Exchequer" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Chief Barons of the Irish Exchequer">Lord Chief Baron</a> (up to the extinction of the office on the retirement of <a href="/wiki/Christopher_Palles" title="Christopher Palles">Christopher Palles</a> in 1916) and other <i><a href="/wiki/Puisne" title="Puisne">puisne</a></i> judges of the High Court would likewise have worn scarlet robes with ermine hood and ermine-trimmed mantle. Many fine examples of these robes can be seen in portraits of Irish judges in the <a href="/wiki/King%27s_Inns" title="King's Inns">King's Inns</a>. </p><p> Upon the passing of the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Irish_Free_State" title="Constitution of the Irish Free State">Constitution of the Irish Free State (Saorstát Éireann) Act 1922</a>, the office of Lord Chancellor immediately became defunct. Then in 1924 the Court of Appeal was refashioned into the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_(Ireland)" class="mw-redirect" title="Supreme Court (Ireland)">Supreme Court</a>; the Lord Chief Justice became simply <a href="/wiki/Chief_Justice_of_Ireland" title="Chief Justice of Ireland">Chief Justice</a> and head of the judiciary; and the Master of the Rolls was replaced with a President of the <a href="/wiki/High_Court_(Ireland)" title="High Court (Ireland)">High Court</a>. The judges of the new superior courts, including the Chief Justice and President, adopted for all occasions—ceremonial or otherwise—the ordinary working judicial dress of the austere type previously worn by members of the old <a href="/wiki/Irish_Court_of_Appeal" class="mw-redirect" title="Irish Court of Appeal">Court of Appeal</a>, that is, as Order 119 rule 2 of the Rules of the Superior Courts, 1986 originally read:<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"></p><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>A black coat and vest of uniform make and material of the kind worn by Senior Counsel, a black Irish poplin gown of uniform make and material, white bands and a wig of the kind known as the small or bobbed wig.</p></blockquote><p> Wigs are now optional for judges of the High Court. </p><p>Judges of the <a href="/wiki/Circuit_Court_(Ireland)" title="Circuit Court (Ireland)">Circuit Court</a> also wear similar costume, pursuant to Order 3 rule 1 of the Circuit Court Rules, 2001. The prescribed dress of judges of the <a href="/wiki/District_Court_(Ireland)" title="District Court (Ireland)">District Court</a> (in Order 5 rule 1 of the District Court Rules, 1997) is the same, but does not include a wig. </p><p> Order 119 rule 2 of the Rules of the Superior Courts was amended in 2012, and now stipulates that:<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"></p><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>the Judges of the Supreme Court shall on all occasions during the sittings, including sittings of the Court of Criminal Appeal, wear a black woollen gown of uniform make with sleeves bearing green double ribbon banding and a single white neck tab.</p></blockquote> <p>This new uniform is worn without a wig, and the single white neck tab is more reminiscent of European style court dress. </p><p>This alteration to the dress of the Supreme Court has also been implemented in the Court of Appeal, the Circuit Court and the <a href="/wiki/District_Court_(Ireland)" title="District Court (Ireland)">District Court</a>. The "double ribbon banding" is coloured dark blue with gold trim for judges of the Court of Appeal, dark red for judges of the Circuit Court and blue for judges of the District Court. Judges of the Circuit Court appointed prior to October 2016 and judges of the District Court appointed prior to March 2017 may wear the older judicial dress if they so wish. The dress of judges of the High Court remains unchanged. Wigs remain optional in the traditional dress, but do not constitute part of the recently introduced dress. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Counsel">Counsel</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Court_dress&action=edit&section=44" title="Edit section: Counsel"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div><p> Barristers' dress in the <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland" title="Republic of Ireland">Republic of Ireland</a> is almost unchanged since the pre-Independence era. Counsel may not exercise his <a href="/wiki/Right_of_audience" class="mw-redirect" title="Right of audience">right of audience</a> unless he is properly attired. It is provided in Order 119 rule 3 of the Rules of the Superior Courts as follows:<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"></p><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>Senior and Junior Counsel shall appear, when in court, habited in a dark colour and in such robes and bands and with such wigs as have heretofore been worn by Senior and Junior Counsel respectively, and no Counsel shall be heard in any case during the sittings unless so habited.</p></blockquote> <p>It may therefore be said that Irish barristers robe similarly to their English counterparts. Such robes are worn by barristers in all courts, including the District Court. Like King's Counsel in England, <a href="/wiki/Senior_Counsel" class="mw-redirect" title="Senior Counsel">Senior Counsel</a> generally wear a short bar wig and black <a href="/wiki/Silk" title="Silk">silk</a> or <a href="/wiki/Poplin" title="Poplin">poplin</a> gown with flap collar and long, closed sleeves over a buttoned and broad-cuffed court coat. Their shirts will have a detachable stiff wing collar, worn with bands. Junior Counsel wear a short bar wig and black poplin or <a href="/wiki/Stuff_(cloth)" title="Stuff (cloth)">stuff</a> bar gown (which has a gathered yoke and short, open sleeves) over a dark three-piece suit with similar wing collar and bands. While it is not unknown for female barristers to wear a blouse with separate bands much like male colleagues, more commonly they would wear a starched white all-in-one collarette or bib covering their neckline that approximates in looks to a tall <a href="/wiki/Mandarin_collar" title="Mandarin collar">Mandarin collar</a> and bands. </p><p>Section 49 of the Courts and Court Officers Act 1995, however, did abolish the requirement that barristers should wear wigs in court. To this extent only, the wording of the Rules of Court above is somewhat out of date. (All counsel still must wear a gown and bands etc.) By affording individual barristers a discretion to wear the forensic wig in court, the new rule defused what had become an increasingly bitter debate in the profession whether it was appropriate to cleave to anachronistic modes of dress - even as a traditional and undoubtedly recognizable <a href="/wiki/Uniform" title="Uniform">uniform</a> - and avoided a more drastic solution, such as the abandonment of wigs or gowns altogether. Accordingly, there is little contemporary call for reform of court dress in Ireland. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="Call_to_the_Bar">Call to the Bar</h5><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Court_dress&action=edit&section=45" title="Edit section: Call to the Bar"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Junior counsel are <a href="/wiki/Call_to_the_Bar" class="mw-redirect" title="Call to the Bar">called to the Bar</a> in three sittings in the year, one in <a href="/wiki/Hilary_term" title="Hilary term">Hilary term</a>, one <a href="/wiki/Trinity_term" title="Trinity term">Trinity term</a>, and the other in <a href="/wiki/Michaelmas_term" title="Michaelmas term">Michaelmas term</a>.

On this occasion alone do the new Senior Counsel wear full-bottomed wigs, though with their working robes rather than with the breeches, stockings, patent court shoes and lace stock of former times. This is purely a matter of convention and is not, so it would seem, governed by any rule of court. Since 1922, the Chief Justice has presided over the ceremony in lieu of the departed Lord Chancellor.
