Attorneys at law wear white and black when appearing in all courts. They must wear black robes when appearing in the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and the High Court; it is optional in the lower courts.
Seventy-two per cent of all hospital doctors and medical students wear white coats and most wear them greater than 75% of the time. White coats are worn chiefly for easy recognition by colleagues and patients, to put items in the pockets and to keep clothes clean.

HEY YOUR ANSWER IS .....
All professionals, including lawyers and physicians, wore black before the late 19th century because their dress evolved from the clerical robes worn by church functionaries. In the Renaissance period these worthies were called “Doctors of the Church.” But somewhat abruptly, physicians began to move to white clothing as medicine developed its emphasis on hygiene.
Paradoxically—the motivation for both black and white clothing for doctors was the same. Black was desirable because it did not show the stains of blood and other bodily fluids. White became desirable because it did show those stains, making it easier to see when you needed to change your clothes. Increasingly physicians understood the mechanisms of infection and the desirability of cleanliness, and eventually, of a true sterile environment. Frequent changing gave a better outcome for the patient.
