In case you haven't heard, there is some sad news in the UK: judges are no longer going to wear wigs during civil cases. (I suspect that criminal trials would be too serious without them.) Apparently they're expensive and uncomfortable, but I think the Brits should have kept the wigs. Tradition is one thing. Hilarity is another. That's two reasons.
If I didn't have such a spectacular mane of my own, I'd try to reinstate them here. After all, you sometimes have to think: it's 1787--and then ask yourself: what would William Cushing do?
