Colorado judge resigns after using N-word multiple times and using racially insensitive language

A Colorado judge who was censured by the state's Supreme Court after being accused of using racist language with a coworker has resigned.


The Colorado Supreme Court said Arapahoe County District Court Judge Natalie T. Chase used the N-word multiple times with a coworker and was racially insensitive on many occasions, according to court documents recommending discipline for Chase and public censure from the Court.

The documents detail a 2020 incident in which Chase, a former law clerk and a Family Court Facilitator were driving back to work after attending an event in Pueblo, Colorado.
