The theatre shares many features with the law. One key commonality is the presence of dressers in both professions. In the law and the theatre, the dresser is a key intermediary in the transformation of bodies and the transmission of professional culture, while being relatively under-recognised in criticism and scholarship. The point of departure for this paper is that the dresser is a figure worthy of further scrutiny. As the Court and Ceremonial Manager at Ede and Ravenscroft, Christopher Allen is perhaps one of the common law's most important dressers. Allan is instrumental to the entry of the judiciary into their new roles by dressing them for the very first time in advance of their swearing-in ceremony. Established as a wig-making business in 1726 (later selling robes from 1871), Ede and Ravenscroft are the tailors and robe-makers of choice for the judiciary, not only in England and Wales, but in many common-law jurisdictions. This paper draws upon an interview with Allen about his work as the dresser of the judicial establishment of England and Wales in order to explore the role of dressing up in the production of images of the judiciary. Thinking about the role of the dresser in the production of the judicial image draws attention not simply to the function that dress plays in the law, but foregrounds the process of dressing up as a key aspect of the law's performance.

穿着法律

剧院与法律有许多共同之处。一个关键的共同点是两个职业都有梳妆台。在法律和戏剧中,梳妆台是身体转变和职业文化传播的关键中介,而在批评和学术中却相对被忽视。本文的出发点是梳妆台是一个值得进一步审视的人物。作为 Ede 和 Ravenscroft 的法庭和礼仪经理,Christopher Allen 可能是普通法系最重要的梳妆台之一。艾伦在他们的宣誓仪式之前第一次为他们打扮,有助于司法机构进入他们的新角色。1726 年作为假发制造企业成立(后来从 1871 年开始销售长袍),Ede 和 Ravenscroft 不仅在英格兰和威尔士,而且在许多普通法司法管辖区,都是司法机构首选的裁缝和长袍制造商。本文借鉴了艾伦对他的工作的采访英格兰和威尔士司法机构的化妆师,以探讨化妆在司法形象生产中的作用。思考梳妆台在司法形象塑造中的作用,不仅会引起人们对着装在法律中所起的作用的关注,而且还突出了化妆的过程。打扮作为法律执行的一个关键方面。
