Description

The past decade has seen rising threats and acts of violence against judges, lawyers, and other members of the judiciary. Threats against federal judges, for example, have spiked 400% in the past six years. This program seeks to educate lawyers, law students, and other members of the Bar about the recent rise in radicalization and mobilization to violence in the U.S., and about the important part members of the legal profession can play in violence prevention.
