On the Eve of Republic Day I have a General Query? Why does Lawyers Dress in White and Black any history behind this Dress code?

In India, the Advocates Act 1961 makes it mandatory for advocates appearing in the supreme court., high courts, subordinate courts, tribunals or authorities to wear a dress that is sober and dignified.
The dress code is not merely a status symbol, but brings out discipline among lawyers and gives them the confidence to fight for justice. The dress code also differentiates the lawyers from other professionals.

Besides this Black is the color of authority and power. Black also implies submission. Priests wear black to signify submission to God. So is the case with lawyers.
Happy Republic Day

Happy republic day. White represents knowledge and black represents intelligence. When knowledge is covered with intelligence, you can give justice to your clients.
