Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been a sharp rise in acts of violence in the courts. These acts range from minor disturbances and physical assaults to murder and mass destruction. The potential exists for violence to occur in any court system regardless of location. Unfortunately, many courts at all levels of the judicial system have been slow or even reluctant to implement adequate security measures. This book is designed to prove the folly in such denial. It provides hard statistics and observations that highlight this unique visceral security environment. The text is specifically designed to help those charged with developing and implementing security measures to reevaluate current methods for safeguarding the judicial process. Presented in four sections, the first discusses perpetrators planning an attack and reviews types of perpetrators, target selection, tactics, operations styles, the mechanics of violent attacks, and thwarting attacks. Section two discusses in much detail a multitude of integrated security systems now available for court facilities. The third section presents effective response mechanics for courthouse violence, and the final section reviews tactical considerations for training, containment, and responding to explosive devices. The text serves as a substantial resource in providing the most current state-of-the-art information on security operations and technologies in a very clear but in-depth format. The ultimate goal of this book is to emphasize that court security in today's world must be constantly reexamined, revamped, and upgraded to protect human and physical assets. This unique and comprehensive text will be invaluable to courthouse adminstrators, security professionals, law enforcement personnel, judges, lawyers, and college-level students of security.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Glenn Sulmasy proposes a 'third way' solution that avoids the extremes of an unaccountable military court system on the one hand and funneling war-on-terror detainees into the domestic criminal court system on the other. Instead, he advocates creating a separate standing judicial system, overseen by civilian judges, that allows for habeas corpus appeals and which focuses exclusively on existing war-on-terror cases as well as the inevitable cases to come"--Jacket.

Download or read book Judicial Review of National Security written by David Scharia and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, countries around the world introduced numerous national security programs and military campaigns. Despite the complex legal questions they raise, very few of these measures have been the subject of rigorous judicial review. Nevertheless, the absence of real-time review has had an enormous effect on human rights, rule of law, and on national security. The Supreme Court of Israel provides an excellent case study of a different approach, which allows judges to assess military action in real-time and to issue non-binding results of their evaluation. This raises the question: How was the Court actually able to uphold this challenge? In Judicial Review of National Security, David Scharia explains how the Supreme Court of Israel developed unconventional judicial review tools and practices that allowed it to provide judicial guidance to the Executive in real-time. In this book, he argues that courts could play a much more dominant role in reviewing national security, and demonstrates the importance of intensive real-time inter-branch dialogue with the Executive, as a tool used by the Israeli Court to provide such review. This book aims to show that if one Supreme Court was able to provide rigorous judicial review of national security in real-time, then we should reconsider the conventional wisdom regarding the limits of judicial review of national security.

Book excerpt: The importance of judicial security was underscored by the murders of family members of a Chicago federal judge on February 28, 2005, and the killings less than two weeks later of a state judge, a court reporter, and a sheriff's deputy in an Atlanta courthouse. Shortly after these incidents, the House and the Senate held hearings and legislation was introduced to (among other things) improve security for judicial officers in the courtrooms; safeguard judges and their families at home; restrict postings of personal information about judicial officials and their families on the Internet; extend or make permanent the authority to redact certain information from judges' and their families' financial disclosure forms; and increase penalties for attacks against them and other law enforcement personnel. These legislative initiatives were H.R. 1710, H.R. 1751, H.R. 4311, H.R. 4472, H.R. 4732, S. 1608, S. 1558, and S. 1968. Several of the bills have been passed by either the House or the Senate, one bill has been passed by both Houses, but none has been enacted. Separate legislation was enacted (P.L. 109-13) that appropriated funds for intrusion detection alarms in judges' homes. By statute, the United States Marshals Service (USMS) within the Department of Justice has primary responsibility for the security of the Judiciary, but USMS is to work closely with the Judicial Conference of the United States, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AOUSC), and the Federal Protective Service (FPS) within the Department of Homeland Security. Concerns have been raised, however, about the staffing of, and the communication and coordination between, these offices. According to USMS, more than 400 court facilities nationwide are under its protection. Both federal and state judicial organizations have also attempted to address judicial security concerns. The Judicial Conference has, among other things, encouraged newly appointed judges to provide personal information to USMS, and urged USMS to provide additional training to marshals and inspectors. The National Center for the State Courts (NCSC) issued a document intended to serve as a framework for state judicial security, and has held two summits on court safety and security. Federal court security funding is currently provided under two sets of appropriations bills, one for the Judiciary and one for USMS. The majority of the Judiciary funding for security is ultimately transferred to USMS to administer the program that pays for contract security guards and other expenses. The FY2007 Judiciary budget request for court security is $410.3 million -- a $42.1 million (11.4%) increase over the FY2006 appropriation. Separately, the FY2007 budget request for USMS for judicial and courthouse security is $343 million -- a $19 million (5.9%) increase over the FY2006 appropriation. Several related issues may merit consideration as Congress considers judicial security, including funding and resources, communication and consultation, federal/state collaboration, and continuous oversight. This report will be updated upon passage of relevant legislation, or as other events warrant.
