Judge’s comments face judicial review

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.’’
