The objective of this article is to familiarize bench officers and lawyers with steps a trial court can take to ensure security in the courtroom. Readers will learn about how a criminal defendant's right to a fair trial must not be compromised by security measures, the "manifest need" standard which must be satisfied prior to the use of restraints in a jury trial, and the applicable standards in non-jury proceedings and in employing other security procedures.
