我们经常能在影视作品中看到,英国法庭上的法官和律师都戴着一头白色卷发假发。在一些前英国殖民地,也可以看到这种具有不列颠特色的文化烙印。英国司法界人士为什么对假发情有独钟呢?这顶白色的假发是什么材质,造价如何?如果律师或法官不戴它出庭会怎样呢?接下来我们将为你一一科普。
In England wigs remain an important part of formal courtroom attire for judges and barristers — the term there for lawyers.
在英国,假发一直是法官和出庭律师法庭制服的重要组成。
Many of the judges and barristers who wear wigs in court say the headpiece — also known as a peruke — brings a sense of formality and solemnity to proceedings.
许多法官和出庭律师表示,戴上这种假发会给诉讼程序增加庄严肃穆的仪式感。
Like many uniforms, wigs are an emblem of anonymity, an attempt to distance the wearer from personal involvement and a way to visually draw on the supremacy of the law, says Kevin Newton, a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer who studied law at the University of London. Wigs are so much a part of British criminal courts that if a barrister doesn't wear a wig, it's seen as an insult to the court.
来自华盛顿的律师凯文•牛顿现在就读于伦敦法学院法律系。他表示,和其他制服一样,假发是一种不露身份的象征,它试图将佩戴者的个人情感与法庭分割开来,从视觉上塑造法律的至高无上性。假发在英国刑事法庭中意义重大,如果一个律师不戴假发,则会被视为对法庭的侮辱。
