Trivia: What color robes have justices traditionally worn in court?
Red
White
Blue
Black
The correct answer is Black
So why is this answer correct? : The first chief justice, John Jay, often wore robes with red accents, in the manner of early colonial and English judges. But since the turn of the 19th century, the Supreme Court has been costumed in black. Chief Justice John Marshall led the shift in fashion to reinforce the idea that justice is blind. However, there is actually no official policy about robes — most justices just choose to follow tradition.
