Answer:
Question: Why do Judges wear black robes?

Answer: Upon the founding of our country, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson disagreed on what judges should wear. John Adams, our second President, wanted judges to dress similarly to English judges and wear red robes and wigs. Thomas Jefferson, on the other hand, preferred that judges wear suits. A compromise agreement was reached: judges would wear black robes, but they would not use wigs. The robe is considered a reminder of the law and a symbol of neutrality.
