Security Experts: Litigation and Beyond
Suggestions for effectively selecting and utilizing qualified security experts both inside and outside the courtroom.
Law Office Security: Obfirmo Ianua
It may be the most important Latin phrase you never learned in law school. It won't help you win a case but it could save your life. Obfirmo ianua roughly translates as "Lock the door."
The Home Security Test
No home can be totally immune to the threat of crime. But, prior planning and common sense precautions can significantly reduce the risk.
Crime Free By Design
Crime will kill a business district. Fortunately there is a planning tool that can both prevent crime and increase the perception of safety.
SECURITY: By Design And Decree
Establishing liability in crime victimization cases can be a challenge. Often the issues involved center on questions of "duty to protect" and "adequacy of security measures."
