Justice Is Blind, and Occasionally Naked

Although we didn't ask to be reminded, Above The Law calls our attention to the ongoing ethics investigation of Lori Douglas, associate chief justice of the Court of Queen's Bench of Manitoba, family division. Justice Douglas's husband, also a lawyer, took some nasty naked pictures of Douglas and posted them on the Internet. He was fined last year by the Law Society of Manitoba. The Canadian Judicial Council is looking into whether Douglas should be removed from the bench over the online photos and her alleged involvement in her husband's solicitation of another man to have sex with her, and what she should have disclosed when she was applying to be a judge.
