Katherine Ku, who in January became the first former clerk of Ninth Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski still in private practice to publicly speak out about harassment claims about the judge, said she wished she had spoken up sooner.
Ku, a corporate and securities partner in the Los Angeles office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, spoke Wednesday night as part of a panel discussion called “Making the Future #NOTMeToo!” sponsored by the Women Attorneys Advocacy Project, a group of women from the Bay Area bench, bar and academy who have put together multiple programs addressing issues women face in the legal profession.
In front of a packed crowd of mostly women lawyers in the ceremonial courtroom in the San Francisco federal courthouse, Ku described Kozinski as “an abusive employer” and heaped praise upon Heidi Bond, her fellow Kozinski clerk who was among the first to come forward by name in a December article from the Washington Post accusing Kozinski of harassment.
