Threats to judges

Law.com has Another Federal Judge Speaks Out on Recent Threats to Jurists, Family Members

  • Childs, speaking at an event at the federal district courthouse in Seattle last week, said she’s had seven pizzas delivered to her home and she sees them as part of a wave of actions meant to intimidate judges.
  • Childs spoke Wednesday as part of a panel discussion dubbed “Stress and Duress: Past and Present Challenges to the Judicial Branch,” which was co-sponsored by M. Margaret McKeown Federal Bar Association, the Berkeley Judicial Institute, the Washington chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates and the Ninth Judicial Circuit Historical Society.
"My concern is more the younger judges—30s, early 40s—that are being put on circuit courts of appeals. To me that’s the larger problem."
