Court Uniform
There have been several letters in The Times lately on this subject. So I sent in this missive about C.
My late wife was a barrister for many years and although many ladies in the profession had problems with court uniform, she never did. Egged on by others and especially another barrister, with a love of elaborate footwear and a nickname of ‘Boots’, she pushed everything to the limit. Even twenty years ago, her suits might be blue and/or with trousers. Black as she said was for funerals not work!
Others pondered how she got away with it! Certainly, in one East Anglian Court, she had a stand-off with the late judge, because she liked his malodorous cocker-spaniel, which sat at his feet during cases, so he didn’t dare complain.
I suspect the two of them complete with the spaniel, are enjoying trying some of the Devil’s miscreants!
