Snoopy Detroit Lions It’s Ok If You Don’t Like My Team Not Everyone Has Good Taste shirt

 Never wear anything that will distract the jury. When I ask jurors about their experience they often start with a description of what a lawyer wore. That lawyer made a mistake. When I go to court I wear a dark suit, a white or light blue shirt, a non-gaudy tie, black shoes and socks. I look like a Mormon missionary without the name tag. It depends on the court’s dress code, but generally, you would want to dress more formally for court. Wearing jeans and an ordinary t-shirt is likely to be seen as disrespectful. In Canada, lawyers who go to Court are Barristers. In Provincial level Courts in Ontario and most other provinces, gentlemen wear business suits and ties; ladies wear business formal. In High Court, we all wear black or striped morning trousers (or similar skirts or trousers for ladies); a white shirt with French cuffs and wing collar; “bands” which are white and worn around the neck and have two long white “tabs” down the front over the shirt; black high collared, long sleeve waistcoat, all under a long (knee length) black gown. The gown and waistcoat worn by those appointed QC (Queen’s Counsel) are of black silk. Hence, our reference to those lawyers as “my friend in silk”. When a lawyer receives this honour, he or she is said to have “taken silk”.

In the U.S. male attorneys are usually required to wear a button up shirt, tie and jacket. Female attorneys are usually given a little more slack (I’ve seen a few wear a nice sweater and chinos) but still usually wear a blazer and slacks or professional skirt. Dress shoes are generally required. The minimum decorum is usually set by the court and most attorneys generally adhere to a suit for court appearances. It shows respect to the institution and the traditions of the profession. As Maine can get quite cold, I have seen attorneys wear a fleece jacket with a shirt and tie on underneath and even the trademarked Bean Boots in severe weather without getting any reprimand from the judge. Keep in mind, an attorney doesn’t just dress up because it is expected in court, they also need to project a professional image. Would you take legal advice from someone wearing basketball shorts and a t-shirt in a courtroom?
