Just spent a couple hours on google trying to find out who has the contract for the Arlington court--no luck tonight.

Akal used to have a listing of the court contracts on their site, but the listing is no longer there. Some of the things I came across suggest that the US Marshall Service may be trying to do away with contracts for court protection (which would be a wise move IMO), so it's possible they've managed to do that.

However, as of Jan. 2000, it looks like AKAL did have the D.C. courts:

[t]his is a supplemental response to your letter concerning application of section 4.165(c) of McNamara O'Hara Service Contract Act (SCA) Regulations, 29 C.F.R. Part 4, to a court security contract performed by AKAL Security (AKAL) in Washington, D.C.

Maybe we'll have better luck tomorrow.

Thanks, Lion's Cub. This would fit with your research, rd, and it is VERY welcome news that at least some agencies are trying to rebuild security that X42 carefully dismantled (starting from day one when they undid WH security). Rd, also a very good point about paralegals who could be sprinkled throughout various law firms and having access to all kinds of discovery, etc.
