ACT SUPREME COURT

Refer to Practice Direction No.6 of 2003 'Robing in the Supreme Court'. When a practitioner appears in the Court as a barrister they should wear traditional robes in matters where the Judge robes subject to the following:

• Wigs are no longer to be worn in civil matters;
• Wigs should be worn in all criminal matters (including appeals) in which the Judge wears robes.

Practitioners are to wear wigs when appearing in the High Court of Australia when the judges robe. Counsel are to wear wigs and gowns for ceremonial sittings.
