Attire
Unlike their counterparts in other common law jurisdictions, American attorneys are not required to wear wigs, robes or any other items of court dress when they appear in court. They are usually expected to wear contemporary business suits.
The one exception is the United States Solicitor General and other U.S. Department of Justice attorneys, who traditionally argue before the U.S. Supreme Court in 19th-century morning dress.

Chain mine armed neck, leap thou, attire and all,
Through proof of harness to my heart, and there
Ride on the pants triumphing!”
