EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the grandeur and tradition of the Judges' Procession as it opened at Westminster Hall in 1843. The annual procession of judges, an enduring symbol of the British legal system, dates back to the 14th century and marks the official start of the legal term. In this photograph, a distinguished line of judges, robed in their black and white attire, make their way through the historic halls of Westminster, surrounded by their attendants and officers. The atmosphere is one of solemnity and authority, as the judges prepare to begin their duties in the administration of justice. The procession begins at Westminster Hall, the oldest part of the Old Bailey Courts, and winds its way through the streets of London to the Royal Courts of Justice. The route is steeped in history, passing by landmarks such as the Strand, Temple Bar, and Fleet Street. The judges' robes, with their ermine trim and Tudor bonnets, have remained largely unchanged since the 16th century, reflecting the rich heritage of the British legal system. The procession itself is a testament to the continuity and tradition of the legal profession, as well as its commitment to upholding the rule of law. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the law was administered with great ceremony and solemnity. It is a reminder of the enduring importance of the legal system and the role of the judiciary in maintaining justice and upholding the rule of law in society.
