wi th witnesses, the defendant, or any other person who might
comment on a court case during recess periods with the potential
of creating a mistrial which becomes costly and time consuming.

to prepare a Smoking Policy that will satisfactorily meet the
functions of the Judicial and Annex Buildings. Once prepared,
the policy will be submitted to the Commissioners for review and
approval.
