WHEN SHOULD A JUDGE RECUSE?
|
WHEN SHOULD A JUDGE RECUSE?
|
Recusal is appropriate if a material witness, a party or related to a party, previously acted as a party’s attorney, related to a party’s attorney, prepared any legal instrument which is in issue, when personally or financially interested in the outcome, or determines cannot act impartially. Recusal is inappropriate to avoid public clamor, fear or criticism or political attack.
|
Under Texas law, a judge must recuse himself/herself in any proceeding in which his/her impartiality might reasonably be questioned. There must be no doubts or suspicions as to the fairness or integrity of the court. The judiciary must strive not only to give all parties a fair trial but also to maintain a high level of public trust and confidence.
