Ask the Pakistani Lawyer

Huh. Missed this the first time around. What is court dress like? Western? Subcontinental? Mixed?

Lower Courts: Lawyers wear a black suit with a white shirt and tie as do Judges.

High Court: Judges wear a black gown with red trim and the provincial seal on each upper arm, sleeve, lawyers wear a black gown with a stiff collar and bands, although recently premission has been given to wear a black tie in lieu of bands, as its annoying to have to keep changing the bands for a tie especially if you are in court for only 10 minutes one day.

Supreme Court: Judges wear a black gown with gold stripes on the sleeves, the Chief Justice wears a much heavier gold and green gown. When the full court sits, the Judges wear wigs, but thats happened more rarely recently.

Supreme Court lawyers may wear any business suit, but they almost always choose to wear the black suit with white shirt and tie.
