Kozinski, Federal Judge, Retires Abruptly After Sexual Harassment Allegations

FILE -- Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, at a courtroom in Pasadena, Calif., April 22, 2010. Kozinski, now in late 2017, is retiring after multiple women accused him of sexual harassment. In a statement, Kozinski said his family and friends had urged him to remain and defend himself, but that doing so would make it difficult to do his job well. (J. Emilio Flores/The New York Times)
