MIAMI, March 6 (Reuters) - Threats against U.S. judges are rising and lawyers should do more to push back against heated rhetoric, four federal judges said in a panel discussion on Thursday.
Speaking at an American Bar Association meeting on white collar crime in Miami, U.S. District Judge Richard Boulware of Las Vegas federal court said threats against the judiciary had gone up "exponentially."
"We’re in a dark space, and we have to stop pretending like we're not in that space," Boulware said to applause from the audience of mostly white collar defense lawyers.
