‘Knees-together’ judge applies to practise law again
CALGARY — A former judge who asked why a rape complainant didn’t keep her knees together has applied to practise law again.
A notice on the Law Society of Alberta’s website says there is to be a day-long reinstatement hearing for Robin Camp on Nov. 14 in Calgary.
Camp resigned from the Federal Court in March following a Canadian Judicial Council recommendation that he be removed from the bench because his conduct was “manifestly and profoundly destructive” to the impartiality and integrity of the judiciary.
Court transcripts from the 2014 sexual assault trial show that Camp, who was a provincial court judge in Calgary at the time, called the complainant “the accused” numerous times and told her “pain and sex sometimes go together.”
