How should judges, lawyers, and public health officials respond to a chemical weapon attack? What happens if a mass terrorist attack forces a quarantine, large-scale evacuations, or the slaughter of private animals? Those are the questions that a new doomsday manual put out by the New York state court system and the state bar association hopes to answer.
I would imagine that should NYC suffer some sort of devastating incident the last thing on the minds of the judges, court reporters and attorneys will be “How can I safely stay here and continue this hearing?”. More likely they’ll be thinking “How fast can I get off this freaking island?”
