I was in a state of emotional shock, and what I really wanted to do was be as small as possible and make as few movements as possible and to say as little as possible to get out.
Also, Emily Murphy, who was once a clerk under him, she later became a professor at UC Hastings, said that Kozinski suggested to a group that she exercises naked in the courthouse gymnasium. Well, the list doesn’t end here as four other women who worked for him also said that his actions weren’t appropriate and stated that he always had sexual overtones while talking.

I have been a judge for 35 years and during that time have had over 500 employees in my chambers. I treat all of my employees as family and work very closely with most of them.

Also, he added,
I’ve always had a broad sense of humor and a candid way of speaking to both male and female law clerks alike. 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, for this I sincerely apologize.
