Legal disputes are inherently adversarial and can involve very high stakes for the parties involved. For those in the legal profession, threats and violent behavior sometimes come with the already emotionally charged territory.

Enter Attorney Security, where Ann Olson, a Policy Analyst with the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s Office of Court Operations will outline simple steps that you can take to help protect yourself, your coworkers, and your family from potential harm. You’ll examine:
- What the Supreme Court Rules require when it comes to courthouse security

- Examples of recent security threats and incidents
- How attorneys can support courthouse security
