Re: [lace] laces used by judges
Nine jabots is an awful lot of jabots. Maybe we could limit the honor to female Supreme Court Judges. This would keep it to a much more manageable number, she said cynically. I can see it now: The International Old Lacers salutes the Judicial System in a ribbon across the special commemorative issue of the Bulletin of the International Old Lacers . In addition to coverage of the presentation cermonies we could have an interview with Judge Judy and a gallery of international judges in their favorite laces.

[lace] laces used by judges
Hello all, Some weeks ago, I put a question about which was the use of lace on attorneys or judges dress. Sure I did not express myself appropriate and my question did not make sense for you, so I had no reply. My nears say that I am obstinate, so I am here again asking you: Does it exists the tradition to sew a lace application on the border of sleeves of judges dress? Here in Spain has remained the tradition and I have upload a picture on the page: http://www.geocities.com/carolgallego/punetas.html I would like to hear from you, as I am curious if this tradition only survive in Spain or in other parts of the world too.

[lace] Laces used by judges
Hello Carolina, At 11:54 AM 12-07-04 +0200, you wrote: Some weeks ago, I put a question about which was the use of lace on attorneys or judges dress. snip Here in Australia it is customary for the Lord Mayor of a city to wear a cravat, many of which are hand made and some made of lace. Here in South Australia the Lord Mayor of Adelaide has handmade lace on his costume and also the Lord Mayor of Murray Bridge, which is a city about one and half hours drive to the East. Also the Lord Mayor of Strathalbyn I think as well. Thank you for sending the web page address where we could see the lace.

Re: [lace] laces used by judges
I don't think Judges here in England have lace on their robes, but may be wrong on this. Not quite the same thing but the Speaker of the House of Commons has a Honiton jabot and cuffs, made by Pat Perryman. And several mayors (I wonder if there is a list of them anywhere) have jabots or whatever to wear with their most formal regalia, usually made by the local lace groups. There have been articles about some of these in Lace over the years. I wonder how they are surviving now; it must be worrying making a handmade, high maintenance accessory unless you are fairly confident the care will be available to look after it, through frequent changes in custodianship.

Hello, I've never seen or heard of it in the US, and not for cravats for political office holders, either. A very nice tradition, I loved the lace on the Spanish judge's sleeves.

Judicial attire in the US is very boring possibly reflecting our anti-aristocratical dogma and a perception that lace is soft and pretty and weak and that it ill-suits people who have the power and authority to sentence others to death or a life-time in jail. However, I have noted that Judge Judy, supposedly a real life judge, who presides over a television court room where people submit their disputes for reasons that elude me, seems to wear a diminutive lace collar over her robe. I don't know whether this is to distinguish TV judging from other judging or whether this is an affectation that some women judges adopt. The lace collar in question is very mundane, even severe, as is Judge Judy, and does little to advance the appreciation of lace. Devon cursed by living in a country with no good pageantry PS I attended the Burr-Hamilton duel re-enactment in Weehawken over the weekend. It was hard to see, but both duelers seemed to be sporting frilly neckwear. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here is a picture of Lord Denning, (from a book cover, I think), showing him in his robes as a Law Lord. http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/0406176086.02.LZZZ.jpg He became Master of the Rolls, the most senior judge in England, but I think his outfit is typical of a High court Judge.

re:[lace] laces used by judges
Hello everyone and in answer to Carolina's question In Canada the highest justices wear black silk robes and a white silk scarf thing, like a jabot but plain, around the neck (I think they have the white jabot, but maybe not - haven't seen one lately - I know they don't wear wigs). For special occasions they have red robes with white Cdn. mink fur trim at the neck and shoulders - no lace. Thank you for sharing the photo of the Spanish attorney and the most distinguished-looking use of Torchon that I've seen yet. bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] laces used by judges
Lovely. In my opinion, the Brits have always dressed up their officials nicely. No one that I've ever seen has come close to my favourite, Queen Elizabeth I. Imagine being charged with making lace for her, and caring for it! That would have been hard, and most likely by candlelight too, and paid a pittance! But boy, it was lovely.

I am sure you will get several replies from the U.S. There is a court tv program over here for small claims and Judge Judy wears lace collars on her black gowns. I don't think there is any tradition with this, maybe her attempt at staying feminine. BTW, she stands no messing in her court and tells the plaintives and defendants to behave correctly.
