ABA throws support behind investigation into sexual harassment allegations

The Australian Bar Association has responded to reports that a Federal Circuit Court judge has resigned after an independent investigation substantiated allegations that he had sexually harassed two junior female court staff over four years.
Two weeks ago, the Honourable Chief Justice Will Alstergren confirmed that former Federal Circuit Court judge Joe Harman had resigned after an inquiry found his conduct towards a junior court staff and a law student was “sexualised in nature”. The conduct included inappropriate communications and two unwelcome hugs.
