The Legal Regalia; A Ghost of Colonization?
From time immemorial, the Legal Profession has been adorned with the black & white colours of authority and purity. This 17th Century culture of appearance may have began in England, but it has as well been adopted in the Nigerian judicial system and plays an integral role in legal ethics and etiquette. As we focus on forgetting the evils of imperialism and colonialism, it becomes necessary to probe the essence and relevance of the wig-and-gown apparel in the present day Nigerian legal system. It will be another episode of thought-provoking and attention-grabbing talk, this time with a keener approach. We will answer the following questions and many more: • Why does Nigeria maintain the English mode of legal dressing, even after years of independence? • Is there any undertone of (neo)colonialism in the insistence on black-and-white?
