How well prepared are courts and the judicial system for natural and manmade disasters?

Thomson Reuters and West LegalEdcenter support the ABA Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section’s Initiative on Disaster Preparedness and Response.

As part of the initiative, in a podcast on Judicial Disaster Preparedness, Sharon Sayles Belton, vice president of Government Affairs and Community Relations, interviewed the Honorable Bernice Donald, who serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

They discussed the importance of disaster preparedness to ensure the continuity of the judicial system in the event of man-made or natural disasters.
