What personal safety measures do you take at work, at home and in between?
The recent slayings of two prosecutors in Kaufman County, Texas, and other fatal courthouse shootings in 2013 have put courthouse security in the spotlight.

Posted by Andy Syrett: “A client of mine insisted on paying me with a one ounce gold Chinese panda coin. At the time it was worth $700. I took it and kept it.
