California’s judiciary paid a Tulare County Superior Court clerk $120,000 in 2016 to settle claims that a judge—now removed from the bench—harassed her over several months in 2013.

The court released the five-page settlement document Tuesday in response to a newly amended Rule of Court that requires the disclosure of any agreement in which taxpayer money was spent to resolve misconduct allegations against a judge. Tulare is the first court to provide documents in response to a request for such settlements by The Recorder.
