No more wigs for certain British judges. Disappointing, because then how are you supposed to know who really has authority in the courtroom? But for the wig, anyone could wander around claiming responsibility and control of the proceedings. It's like when the new teacher looks too young and it's unclear who is the teacher and who are the students. Moreover, I wouldn't doubt that one of the perks that draws many to the profession is the wig allowance - and think of all the people whose jobs will be lost with the lower demand for wigs - it's unlikely many plebs are looking to buy these (apart from as a Halloween costume, but it really isn't such a big holiday over there). A sad day across the board.
