Lazarus developed this robe specifically for use by synthetic beings appearing before the GLMZ Personhood Recognition Tribunal — a garment created to satisfy the tribunal's requirement for 'appropriate formal presentation' while accommodating synthetic physiognomy, which varies widely. The robe is constructed in a clean ivory-white with Lazarus's caduceus motif rendered in pale gray at the breast — visible enough to signal institutional backing, restrained enough not to read as corporate branding in a legal context. Internal magnetic closures adjust automatically to non-standard torso configurations, and the fabric has no thermal, biometric, or BCI-reactive properties that might interfere with the tribunal's own scanning environment.

The robe is provided free of charge by Lazarus to synthetic clients entering personhood proceedings — a gesture that reads as advocacy to some and as calculated PR to others. Lazarus's interest in synthetic personhood is not purely altruistic: recognized synthetic persons become potential customers for Lazarus's cognitive maintenance and neural-substrate pharmaceutical lines. The robe is, in this light, both a gift and an investment. Synthetics in advocacy communities are aware of this tension and wear the robe anyway, because the alternative is appearing in tribunal in whatever they were wearing when they filed.
