Judge Kozinski Announces Retirement

9th Circuit appeals court judge Alex Kozinski is resigning immediately due to 15 allegations of sexual harassment.

In a statement provided by his lawyer, Kozinski apologized, saying that he “had a broad sense of humor and a candid way of speaking to both male and female law clerks alike” and that, “in doing so, I may not have been mindful enough of the special challenges and pressures that women face in the workplace.”

"It grieves me to learn that I caused any of my clerks to feel uncomfortable; this was never my intent,” he said. “For this I sincerely apologize."

His full statement is here.

    I can't help but think (5.00 / 1) (#1)

    When I see these kinds of announcements - How many?

    As in, how many women stopped working, resigned, left the field, quit, were fired, etc... because of this one person's @sshole behavior that is now in the news losing their job.

    Thinking of people like Lauren Green and Mira Sorvino right now.
