Nonsense And so? Are we British. What is wrong with doing what we want to do. Americans hardly wear. They so their own thing. Even have state jurisdictions. Go there if you so badly want to be like them. That's why they even respect

STOP COPYING. Do Better The wig is a representation and of course distinguishable. However, does it have to be "white"? We need to be creative and I think the head cover is good but it must have an identity of our progress.

NKRUMAH WILL BE WEEPING IN HIS GRAVE This perpetuation of colonialism must cease forthwith. How does the wearing of wigs and robes in a 38 degrees Celsius weather enhance the delivery of justice. And look here madam, the wearing of wigs do not make judges anonym

Re: Chief Justice's wig fiat... The Legal Profession and the Judiciary in Ghana have the right to choose their dress codes. Whether the wig is still worn in England or not, is neither here nor there. I ask this lawyer, (assuming that he is a lawyer) who is
