News In Brief

Judges in England and Wales will have newly styled robes from 1 October 2008. Fashion designer, Betty Jackson, has designed the robes on a pro bono basis. High Court judges will have red robes for criminal proceedings all year, rather than sets for summer and winter. Court of Appeal and High Court judges in civil and family courts will no longer wear wigs, wing collars and bands; the new civil judge robes will be coloured according to seniority.
