I was in a rush to get to a hearing today and as I scurried past a sheriff, my robes got caught up in his sidearm.  We got tangled up and it is a good thing that we know each other because otherwise he might have thought that I was after his Glock.

But he knows me better than that.  He knows that I hate Glocks.

I'm not a judge.  I'm a lawyer and here we have to wear robes.  Here I am wearing mine.  Sorry about the dirty waistcoat, but I do not like washing the luck out of my lucky waistcoat.  We went through many hard fought trials together.

That's cool!  It makes lawyers easy to identify.



I always enjoy being on jury duty.  When you wear a juror badge in or near the courthouse, you can assume that anyone who doesn't make eye contact and won't talk to you is probably a lawyer.

We don't wear wigs and neither do the judges.  I think that wigs were worn in the 19th century, but not now.  But the rest of the regalia is the same.  I would much rather wear a suit.  And speaking of suits, here we are at the office.

If I remember correctly, they removed the wig requirement just a few years ago.

This picture was taken inside the courthouse in Wabasca, Alberta.  The dog has a such a Churchillian sense of dignity and is so well behaved that she was allowed to sit and wait for me inside the courthouse.

But you have to remember, Bimba was originally a Marine Corps bulldog. If you salute her she will sit at attention and stay put.  She is one motivated and disciplined dog.

We practise all over Alberta.   We don't wear wigs; however, I have seen a wig that belonged to my former articling principle.  The wig is made of horsehair and it is really disgusting.  It is really hot to wear on your head and it soaks up sweat like crazy.  And in no time it stinks to high heaven.  

Thank goodness we don't have to wear wigs.

Now on the subject of robes, there are different types of material used in robes.  My regular robes are wool and they are very heavy and hot to wear.  I am wearing someone else's robes today and his are lightweight.  I am going to have to get another set.
