These mechanisms are those for the disqualification, recusal, or self-recusal of judges. |
In our case, at least, it was possible for recusal to take place with little inconvenience. |
Justices would be recused by a vote of the Court, with individual members opting to vote for recusal based on their desired outcome in the case. |
Copying the practice of some lower courts, the Supreme Court can refer recusal motions to another Justice or a panel of three Justices. |
No doubt he thought that, if he was biased against supporters of a rival, recusal was appropriate and in the interests of those lawyers. |
Rulings on a recusal application almost never constitute a valid basis for a bias motion. |
