1. A system for use in a well, comprising:
a completion system having:
a first screen assembly joined with a second screen assembly, each of the first and second screen assemblies comprising a screen shroud disposed about a base pipe, the base pipes of the first and second screen assemblies being joined via a coupling;
an alternate path system disposed along the first and second screen assemblies, the alternate path system comprising shunt tubes extending along each of the first and second screen assemblies and connected via jumper tubes extending across the coupling;
a shroud having a plurality of shroud sections positioned around the jumper tubes; and
a torque resistance system acting between the shroud and the base pipes to resist torque effects in a region of the jumper tubes during rotation of the completion system, the torque resistance system being automatically engaged as the plurality of shroud sections are moved toward each other during mounting of the shroud about the jumper tubes.
