message: The article currently states that US Supreme Court Justices Breyer and Thomas have taken to wearing "black skullcaps" when appearing outdoors in court dress.
I am unable to find a reference or photograph anywhere else which would confirm this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jggraubart (talk • contribs) 03:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Can anyone find out if specifically in the United States the first amendment allows courts to establish dress codes for those summoned; or whether the issue is that since it would have to be the courts to interpret the first amendment they can implement a dress code and no one has anywhere to challenge it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.133.12.108 (talk) 14:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The article still refers the House of Lords. The justices of the new Supreme Court have new robes; do they wear these when sitting as the Supreme Court (as opposed to the Privy Council). -Rrius (talk) 06:09, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Supreme Court of the UK 

message: This article is like explaining the intricacies of arranging sand on a beach, without explaining why the sand is being arranged that way.
What is the purpose of court dress? What is the significance of the wig and robes? Why is it important? Why does it matter?
Probably most important: Why is tax money wasted on these unnecessary and expensive frivolities, that have no functional purpose in a court of law?
It appears to be mostly an issue of egotism, pomposity, and marking judges as the betters of the common rabble they usually end up presiding over.

replies: text: Right, so you need to find some reliable sources that tell us the reason why. I have to dress up to appear in court (some of the time) and so do the judges I appear in front of. I have an interest in history, but I've never been able to get to the bottom of where or how the rules came about. Recently our rules have been slightly reformed and relaxed, but that doesn't tell us why we were there in the first place. So, if you can find reliable sources - rather than (say) anecdote - then cite them here and add to the article. Francis Davey (talk) 21:34, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
