Headlines reporting attacks on Article III judges are common. While we aren’t as visible a target as they are, we don’t have the security they do, either. We don’t preside from a raised bench with a panic button, nor do we have bailiffs. But we, like trial judges, have a “loser” in every hearing. We deal with parties who feel they have a lot at stake, are highly emotional, and may have problems with addiction or an undiagnosed mental illness. Most adjudicators admit they’ve felt vulnerable and fearful in at least one past hearing. We should have a plan of action in the event of a threatening incident. We should take precautions for our safety. This class will provide practical advice on doing just that.
