CALGARY — The Canadian Judicial Council is reviewing complaints about a Calgary judge who admitted to making what she called inappropriate comments to university students.
Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Kristine Eidsvik apologized to a class of second-year law students for the words she used last week at the University of Calgary.
CBC News reported that Eidsvik told the class she was uncomfortable walking into a room “full of big dark people.”
She reportedly said that she was used to being in an “ivory tower,” away from “the riff-raff.”
