Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Law enforcement personnel include court security staff who provide security throughout the courthouse, sheriff's deputies transport prisoners and the bailiff who maintains order in the courtroom and handles evidence. A number of lawyers can be found in the courthouse including the prosecutor who prosecutes cases for the government, the public defender who represents indigent defendants, and private defense attorneys. Court personnel include the judge who presides over the courtroom, law clerks who perform research for the judge, clerk of court is the record keeper, court reporters make transcripts of the proceedings, secretaries handle routine work for the judge's office, language translators, court administrators, and docket clerks who deals with case file management and distribution and maintains files and record. In addition to these individuals there are representatives who may be present in the courtroom from both corrections (probation officers, pretrial services representatives, and diversion representatives) and the public (bail agents, reporters, defendants, witnesses, and victims for example). Changes in courthouse security mean that entering the courthouse is similar to airport security and certain items are not allowed in the courthouse. This means added time to the day of anyone who works in a courthouse. Additionally, such security is a reminder that courthouse employees are at risk, adding stress to their lives.
