In addition to Kwan’s politically charged comments, he was also found to have violated judicial rules in February 2017 when he had a confrontation with a court clerk about a staffer who had been promoted without his involvement. Multiple people described him as “angry” and “screaming.” A short time later, Kwan submitted a written notice for disciplinary action, threatened the clerk with unpaid suspension pending termination and directed her to be escorted from the premises.

Kwan also has a history on being publicly reprimanded from the Utah Supreme Court, according to the opinion. He has been reprimanded in the past for a “crass in-court reference to sexual conduct and a former president of the United States,” and was also warned about participating as president of a nonprofit organization while on the bench.
