     Many people asked me to post the answer to the list so here goes:
     
     See Questions & Answers, 70 LLJ 93 and also
     
     www.courts.state.wi.us/sc/jud_cond/98-8.pdf
      and
     www.cardozo.net/life/spring1999/wigs/ (English tradition--English
     barristers changed to black robes in the 1600's when they were in
     mourning for somebody.)
      and
     www.michigancityin.com/insidenews.asp?ID=8800 (Thomas Jefferson had
     wanted American judges just to wear suits, but ended up compromising
     on black robes.)
     
     Thanks again everybody!
