What matters is that the dress system is not used to inadvertantly or otherwise create 'teams' or 'sides' within the various professions. Maybe it would be helpful if - the judge wore black gowns - the defendants wore white gowns - the plaintiffs wore red gowns. That would certainly make things a lot clearer for the layman.

Maybe it would be helpful if

- the judge wore black gowns
- the defendants wore white gowns
- the plaintiffs wore red gowns.

That would certainly make things a lot clearer for the layman.
