The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct announced Thursday that Judge Paul H. Senzer used profane words in emails between October 2014 and February 2015 while representing clients in a visitation matter.
The commission says the language included derogatory words for women.
Commission Administrator Robert Tembeckjian issued a statement saying "it should be clear that a person who cavalierly uses gender-biased slurs does not belong on the bench."
Senzer has been a justice of the Northport Village Court on Long Island since 1994.
Senzer's attorney, David Besso, says they will seek a review of the commission's decision by the state Court of Appeals, New York's highest court.
