Why does the character of the female prosecutor not wear a powdered wig as do the other barristers? I notice when the judge is female, she does wear a wig.
In our Canadian court system all "officers of the court" wear a wig. Just curious, thanks,

While Phillips works as a crown prosecutor, because she trained as a solicitor, her title is "solicitor advocate"; as such, she doesn't wear the wig, because she didn't train as a barrister.
