[Simon]

This is normal in high court cases. It's a traditional status thing. Ages ago, people of high status such as lords, dukes or anyone related to the royal family would wear these wigs as a mark of their high social standing. Being in the upper class, they could reap the benefits a good education and highly respected jobs such as high court judges and lawyers. But of course they have to stand out from the common peasants, so they would all wear the stupid wigs in court, too. It's a tradition which is still in place today and common in a lot of other government and royal ceromonies. (Though you don't have to be a lord to become a judge nowadays.) All a bit pompous if you ask me, though.
