"It hurts the judicial system not only because somebody’s been physically injured, but because it takes the attention of judges away from what they’re supposed to be doing."

- Chuck Weller, Senior Judge, Washoe County, says one of the problems with attacks against the court is that it affects everyone involved – from the judge and their family to all judiciaries. After a recent violent attack against a Clark County judge, he shares his own story of being shot during a contentious divorce case in 2006 and explains what judges can do to keep safe and appraise the danger they might be in.
