	Lawlink NSW: 10. Court Dress
		In England, the position concerning barristers’; court dress is similar to that in New South Wales, but, unlike their New South Wales counter-parts, solicitors wear gowns and bands when appearing in some of the courts where they have a right to be heard.
		On many occasions the superior court in which a barrister is appearing is close to his or her chambers, and the barrister is permitted to wear court dress while walking between court and chambers.
		Secondly, the District Court is more likely than the Supreme Court to be an appropriate venue for solicitor advocates, yet, as we have mentioned, the inconvenience of transporting bulky court dress applies especially to appearances in the District Court, which sits in many places throughout the State.

		Nicholas, Germanic at his core, felt the need to see unity among the women of his court, as he saw among the men, who were required to wear military dress or court uniforms at all times.
		In the Edict on Dress, it states: "the trains and dresses of the ladies shall be embroidered in the same manner as that of court Chamberlains of corresponding rank." This was, however, a loose requirement.

	01-6049 -- Sally Beauty Co. Inc. v. Beautyco Inc. -- 09/03/2002
		The district court granted Beautyco's motion for summary judgment on the Plaintiffs' claims and Plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment on Beautyco's state antitrust and unfair competition counterclaims.
		Whether a trade dress has acquired secondary meaning is a question of fact and thus generally should not be decided at the summary judgment stage.
		Because we conclude that the district court's grant of summary judgment to Beautyco on the federal trade dress claim must be reversed, the state trade dress infringement claim must be reversed and remanded as well.

	Accounting for TRADE DRESS
		The traditional definition limited protection to a product’s packaging or “dressing.” The courts have greatly expanded this protection over the last two decades to include both the totality of elements used to present a product (for example, the distinctive decor of a restaurant) and the product’s design (such as the shape of a flashlight).
		In either instance, federal courts have three requirements for successful litigation: The trade dress in question must be distinctive, it must be nonfunctional and a competitor’s imitation of it must confuse the consumer.
		The trade dress rules are sure to continue evolving and accountants need to pay close attention to legal developments so they can properly serve their clients and employers.
