At times it might be best to limit your court to a court of review and then take it to a USDC chief justice or clerk or state chief justice or clerk for action on the findings of your court--libel of review, savings to suitors, exigent circumstances, etc. If your court has done all the homework, your courts bond should effectively serve to exonerate a USDC chief justice or clerk from liablity.
When there is potential for any or substantial public-side activity, filing an indemnity bond with the State is probably a GREAT IDEA.
