Why judges wear wigs in Hong Kong

   Recently, the reporter conducted by lawyers pursued court wearing a robe lawyer , Mentougou District Court judges have expressed " very little ", " did not see ." Reporters learned that " counsel apparel management approach" has been officially implemented for 11 years , the proportion of lawyers wear robes lawyer to appear almost zero.

   I actually learned in this story in our nation's original lawyers have lawyers gowns and dress code , but apparently , the lawyers did not put seriously. Perhaps for lawyers , their value lies in their professional capacity and not a piece of clothing , perhaps in their view, this type of formalism is just red tape measure , you can not feelings . This news is very easy to Hong Kong drama reminiscent of those judges and lawyers , their heads wearing wigs robe , for " sloppy " of the people, there are some strange and even some funny. Some people might ask , since Hong Kong has returned many years , why the British justice system should keep these traditions down? In fact, in the UK locally, on the abolition of wigs is also controversial , opponents are basically starting from reality , wigs are expensive , and very easy pediculosis , and distributed to the public in a false feeling superior , not close to the people .

   However, in the eyes of supporters , they think the wig Cheap Hair Extensions is "just the first line ." Has this to say in an article about the judge's wig , I think it is the most powerful answer on this matter : "There are three occupations are entitled to wear a robe to show their identity , that is: judges, priests and scholars such robes symbolizing mature and independent judgment wearer thought, and that is directly responsible for their own conscience and God, it shows that these three professionals in the spirit of autonomy ; . they should act under threats and succumb to pressure . "

   "Justice is the first line ," how heavy words , how could a small section of it ? Why do we ask counsel lawyers wear robes when , in the hope that through such a lawyer solemnly remind ceremony , you have a kind of identity and responsibility. We can see this as a promise , remind yourself away from those daily will , likes and dislikes, selfishness ...... At this moment, you have to be fair and impartial . Meaning lawyers gown lies , as a visible identity, a necessary sense to bring their own rituals , their own daily life and distinguished.

   In fact, not only in the field of justice , in our life , is also accompanied by a variety of ceremonies , may be somewhat outdated, but it still has some value . Yuan Yue columnist summed up the significance of the ceremony : " It 's a serious sense of ritual to strengthen the more solemn ceremony is often the outcome of efforts more difficult , the more discreet ceremony also symbolizes some of the more important dispute to an end or start , free to compare people's daily behavior , you need a sense of ritual behavior is often the process is more detailed, complex and lengthy decision- making needs to be done sober consideration, and the ceremony was settled once held it often means that some of the results or consequences . "

   In other words, the generation of the ceremony , often comes from the heart of introspection, if we can not understand the intrinsic value of the ceremony , but simply ignore it when the measure , or can not therefore be alarming enough , we may lose the a lot of important things that may be of some noble values, it may be some of the rules can not easily be crossed .

   This two-day party secretary, village cadres to wade back news ignited from a follow-up report , the village cadres very wronged , first he and party secretary familiar, this move is a mutual acquaintance between the fraternity ; secondly he was wearing What shoes instead of expensive shoes ; finally said that he has been working around the clock in the affected areas for several days . However, public opinion has not been clearly forgiven him, because his behavior does not comply with his identity. He is in what capacity ? Officials . This identity has its particular sense of honor and responsibility, and commitment that you have to maintain , and when you get power at the same time , you also have to bear the responsibility , which also includes higher moral requirements. The problem lies in the village cadres , he made the behavior is not consistent with his identity.

   Such news recently often occur , such as judges collective prostitution , such as " cousin " Yang was just in a car accident scene, " smiling " , we found that many public servants often stumble on some of the " section " above reason , on the one hand external oversight is weak ; on the other hand , these people have never formed their own inner sense of honor and professional awe . Public just work for them even a tool , not the cause and ideals, there is no real fear , even if you usually disguise it well , but it is inevitable to ignore certain things in revealing his true features .

   We stress the importance of the ceremony, just to give you a tangible form , can always remind myself to myself, cultivate hearts of honor and responsibility. Of course, no heart echo , I am afraid that really is just a ritual formalism of things, but even if you can not insist on this form , how can we believe you do have a sense of responsibility ?
