judicial bias

A judge’s bias toward one or more of the parties to a case over which the judge presides.

• Judicial bias is usu. insufficient to justify disqualifying a judge from presiding over a case. To justify disqualification or recusal, the judge’s bias usu. must be personal or based on some extrajudicial reason. [Cases: Judges 49. C.J.S. Judges § 108.]
