Former Jersey City, N.J., Municipal Court Judge Wilson Campbell, who sued the state judiciary over its response to his interracial affair with a bailiff, saw the last piece of his lawsuit thrown out by a federal judge in Newark on Dec. 23.
The relationship came to light in June 2008, when the bailiff, upset over the end of the affair, took too much Xanax and went to an emergency room, according to the opinion by U.S. District Judge Esther Salas in Campbell v. Supreme Court of New Jersey. In the aftermath, Campbell, who is black, lost his judgeship, his job at Sedgwick Detert Moran & Arnold and was reprimanded by the New Jersey Supreme Court for failing to report the relationship to his supervisor so that the bailiff, who is white, could be assigned elsewhere.
