Hello and happy Friday from Brad and Avalon here at the NLJ’s Bench Report. This week, we’re taking another look at something that’s been a hot topic as of late: Judicial security. With threats against Justice Kavanaugh last week and a judge in Wisconsin speaking this week about a threat, some members of the judiciary seem to be wondering if getting a gun for protection is a good idea. It’s a controversial topic that’s popped up at times in the past. And a former state judge is in hot water in Wisconsin over his conduct in 2020 election-related litigation.
As always, please send tips to [email protected] and [email protected]. Hope you all have a relaxing weekend!
