Establishing a Fear-Free Judicial Environment: Framework for Action

In order to maintain the integrity of our governmental structure, judges must operate in an environment devoid of fear. This framework outlines key areas of focus: establishing policies and procedures, staffing adequacy, technology enhancement, training programs, and effective information dissemination. Successful implementation starts with strong leadership and open communication. Remember, security is only as strong as its weakest link, and many enhancements can be achieved at low cost.
