As for lawyers' robes, on October 18, 2002, the Ministry of Justice approved the "Management Measures for the Use of Lawyers' Clothing in Court" and the "Management Measures for the Use of Lawyers' Association Emblem" formulated by the All-my country Lawyers Association, stipulating that from 2003 Starting from January 1, all Chinese lawyers will wear lawyer robes and lawyer badges (the emblem of the All China Lawyers Association) when appearing in court.
Lawyers’ court attire must comply with the following regulations:
1. Lawyers’ court attire is only used during court hearings and may not be worn at any other time or occasion;
2. Lawyers should dress uniformly when appearing in court and should dress in accordance with regulations: a light-colored coat, a scarf, a lawyer's robe, and a lawyer's badge on the lawyer's robe. Wear dark suit trousers and dark leather shoes, and female lawyers can wear dark suit skirts;
3. Keep lawyers' court attire neat and flat, and any untidy or damaged clothing must not be used;
4. Lawyers appear in court wearing lawyer court attire and should show a serious and solemn mental outlook. Lawyers may not dress or wear court attire other than clothing or jewelry.
To sum up, when a lawyer appears in court wearing a lawyer's robe, he can intuitively highlight the lawyer's unique professional image, reflect the seriousness and nobility of the lawyer's profession, and make it easier for both parties to the case, as well as the judges and prosecutors to identify their identities. . At the same time, lawyers are also reminded to keep their responsibilities in mind and enhance their sense of social responsibility.
