| As dumb as a shoe |
| 29/01/2010 |
| Chief justice Dorit Beinish has a sense of humor. She also maintains her sportsmanlike spirit, even in the face of tough situations. Once she realized what kind of shoe was hurled at her at court, she said she was grateful that it was a snicker and not a shoe with an iron sole.
Looking to the future, how can the public nature of the court and its duty to open its doors to anyone be reconciled with security needs? Will it be possible to hold back people who carry no weapons, merely a pair of shoes or a keychain? After all, visitors cannot be required to enter the courtroom in their socks.
