The New Zealand Bar Association wants more done to improve safety for barristers, judges and others working in the country's courtrooms.

The Bar Association is calling for more to be done to protect lawyers and judges, including urgent consultation about improvements to security and for lawyers to be consulted on measures for high-risk cases.
