Court Security Improvement Act of 2007

The Court Security Improvement Act of 2007 was enacted to strengthen the safety and protection of judges, court personnel, witnesses, and their families at both the federal and state levels. The law increases funding for the U.S. Marshals Service to provide security, creates new criminal penalties for filing false liens against federal employees, and prohibits the public disclosure of personal information—such as home addresses—with the intent to threaten or harm judicial officials. For everyday citizens, the act aims to ensure the integrity of the legal system by protecting participants from intimidation and violence, while also providing grants to help state and local courts improve their own security measures and witness protection programs.
