FIRST WOMAN ADVOCATE. • —— —— ■ PORTIA'S WIG AND GOWN. j Britain's first woman barrister has I received her first brief, and she receivied it exactly one week after she was ! called last November. Miss Kyle, the i barrister in question, who won the j Brook scholarship at the Irish Bar, was j briefed by a Tyrone solicitor entirely unacquainted with her. She has made her first appearanc in the High Court, winning golden opinions from all. In an interview she-pays a tribute to the generous welcome from her male colleagues. Miss Kyle wore the traditional wig and gown, in Court, thus forming a precedent for the wearing of wigs by women instead of the biretta sometimes advocated—>a vexed question which some consider part of a plot to deprive the women of the English Bar of their prestige. It so happened that The Law Journal discusses this question of the woman barrister's attire, and" suggests that Judge and jury man (and jury women) may find it convenient to know at a glance the sex of the advocate. It adds, however, that "it is quite possible the number of women who are chosen as well as called will be so small that the question of their professional attire will remain rather more delicate than important." The view is expressed, however, by an official of the Genera! Corr.dl c* the Bar that he did not think the-- was the slightest necessity for any such change of costume. The gown does not entirely cover the other garments. The woman barrister's blouse will be distinguishable quite easily. There is no rule | about the matter, and no authority to make any. The most probable thing is that Miss Kyle, having made a precedent, others will follow her, and if they do they will be quite right. There must be a gown, and the clothes beneath must be dark. No barrister ofi either sex would be "seen" by a Judge generally speaking, with light clothes' though exceptions have been occasionally mad*.
