Moving Courts Into The Future: The Organizational Agility Imperative

A paradox lies at the heart of the task of our courts. On the one hand, courts exist to uphold timeless values of impartiality, dignity and fairness. On the other hand, they do so while responding to demands from legislators, litigants and citizens that require them to administer justice faster and better with flat or declining budgets.

Interoperability — The Best Way to Leverage Information for a Secure Community

Port Security RoadMap

The recent upheaval in the change of ownership of U.S. Port terminals has focused the attention of the American public on a much broader question: How secure are America's seaports and the global cargo system that delivers foreign goods to them? The events of September 11, 2001 remind us of the lengths to which our adversaries are willing to go to further their cause.
