IN CONVERSATION: ROBES AND RELIGION

Jeremy Ruskin KC will lead a discussion among the panel members and the attendees on the question whether there is still a place for religious ceremonies such as the Red Mass to mark the Opening of the Legal Year. Is it OK to wear barristers’ robes to religious ceremonies? Is there a place for reflecting on ethics and morals without bringing religion into it? Why tinker with a centuries-old tradition?
