Why is the clerk wearing a robe?


Questioner

Why is the clerk in the Netherlands in a robe and in some other countries in civilian clothes? I ask this because I have been involved in a family case in Poland for 3.5 (!) years and the clerk there is always in civilian clothes. (Lay) judges are in robes.

This is regulated in the law. This was determined in the time of Napoleon. I have attached a link to you, in which it is all clearly explained. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toga_(kleding)
