I realize this is a bit off topic, but do UK's judges still use those fake wigs today? I know that they did in back when the US split off, but I just wondering if they still do or if this is just a relevant stock photo.

    Barristers too. (In the UK barristers are the lawyers who argue in court, solicitors are the lawyers who do the paperwork and find barristers for clients who need a hearing in court.)
