Federal judges in Los Angeles and elsewhere are in line to get more security as part of an $82 billion emergency spending bill signed last week by President Bush.

But it’s not just in their courtrooms. It’s also for their homes.

The legislation, primarily designed to pay for security costs in Iraq, includes $12 million in new funding for security of the nation’s federal courthouses and judges following recent court-related shootings in Chicago and Atlanta.

“It’s for increased judicial security outside of courthouse facilities, including priority consideration of home intrusion detection systems in the homes of federal judges,” said Karen Redmond, a spokeswoman for the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.

The funds will be distributed to the Department of Justice’s U.S. Marshals Service, which provides security outside courthouses. It would be on top of $101.8 million that had been requested by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts to pay for costs associated with increased workloads caused by reforms in class action law and sentencing guidelines.

It’s unclear yet how much money Los Angeles judges and courts will get, said Lydia Yurtchuk, a spokeswoman for the U.S. District Court, Central District of California.
