it's a British thing, not an American thing.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

It was an old time british thing because they lost their hair due to syphalis and lice, but having your head shaved was a lame commoner thing.
Or something, I dunno. That sounds like a fact.

Oh woops, seems your right... Watching that Australian show on Netflix 'Wentworth' right now, they're wearing them in all the court scenes, that's what made me think of it... Not sure if Australia counts as British, but they do it too lol... I'm actually kinda surprised Canada doesn't do it considering we're still under the fucking British Queen and all that.

Little Wig History for ya:
Quote:
European Wigs
At this point, wigmakers make wigs by hand which is very expensive. Wigs were a big part of the then modern culture for women and men. Typically, used to express fashion sense in the seventeenth century. Wigs were so popular that those that weren’t able to afford a wig would style their natural hair in a way to make it look as wig-like as possible.
In the mid-eighteenth century, white was all the rave in wigs. At the time, wig makers greased and powdered wigs with flour or starch to create the white color. Elaborated with jewels and trinkets these wigs were quite fancy.

Doesn't really explain why they are wearing them in court this day and age. And even in the Parliament. Is it the law or they just keep wearing them wigs cause they think it's posh?

"Why do lawyers wear wigs?
June 27, 2016 By Edward Hewitt
The Chief Justice of Victoria has recently banned wigs from hearings in Victorian courtrooms and one of her fellow Justices was not happy when some barristers who ignored the Chief Justices direction, calling them “disrespectful”. The Judge then adjourned the hearing before him and refused to hear the barristers until they had removed their wigs.
This has generated much debate within and beyond the legal profession – about whether or not lawyers should wear wigs when appearing in the District and Supreme Courts in accordance with time-honoured tradition.
So what is the purpose of the wig in the law and why and in what circumstances are lawyers required to wear one?
Wig history dates back to England in around 1660. At that time, wigs were a fashionable item which everyone, not just lawyers, were wearing.
As that fashion trend died off as they tend to do, lawyers and judges continued to wear wigs in the English courts and they have continued to wear wigs ever since.
So there is over 400 years of history in the law behind the wearing of the wig as well as the gown jacket and jabot, but interestingly in South Australia wigs were not worn in court until 1850. They have been worn in the higher Courts of South Australia since.
Proponents of the wig argue that the wearing of wigs respects and maintains the tradition of the law and the courts. Wigs acknowledge the origins of our legal system and deflect personal attention from the judge. It is also argued that they bring authority, formality and dignity to court proceedings. For judges, they can offer a degree of anonymity.
Those against the wearing of wigs say that they are old-fashioned, irrelevant to our modern society and are associated with exclusivity. They say that the judge should uphold the formality and dignity of court proceedings, not the clothing worn by officers of the court.
In any case, wigs are recognisable as being inherent in the tradition of common law courts. The appeal to wigs lies in the history and tradition surrounding them.
At the end of the day, what lawyers and judges are wearing makes no difference to court proceedings, their adjudication or their outcome.
There is no real reason as to why the wig is worn other than tradition – but in my view, courtrooms would not be the same without court regalia. Courts have a history of following tradition. Our legal system is based on the following of previous decisions of the court.
The wig embodies the history and tradition associated with the law. I think it would be a shame to see court regalia and in particular the wig disappear from our legal system"

They should replace them with rainbow wigs. Only the judge can wear the clown nose, tho. The honking clown nose would replace the gavel.
