Can I speak directly to the judge?

For example, if you are contesting a citation (commonly called a “ticket”) for a traffic infraction, the law allows you to submit a written explanation directly to the court.

Can you sue a judge for being biased?

Absolutely! You need to ask for them to recuse themselves so another judge can hear the case without being biased about the outcome. If the judge disobeyed the law, you should appeal and file a complaint about the judge.

What if the judge is biased?

The bias could also be towards your attorney. In a situation where a judge is biased or prejudice, the result could be a decision that is not fair or impartial to one party in the case. Often, a judge will identify their own inability to be fair, neutral, and impartial and will recuse themselves from the case.

How do you ask for a different judge?

A defendant or defense lawyer can request a different judge. This is started by filing a petition with the court, requesting a different judge. There needs to be substantial reasoning why a judge should be removed and recused.

What do you do if you feel the judge is biased?

If the Judge makes a ruling in a court hearing that a guy feels is bias, then he should contact his attorney immediately to try to bring the matter back to court for a motion to set aside the order or appeal the ruling depending on the state’s rules of civil procedure.

Are judges really impartial?

Judges should be impartial. But a neutral view of the law is not impartiality; it’s just incompetence. Judicial impartiality with respect to the parties to a case is also generally desirable. A judge who favors one party, or gives greater weight to that party’s claims, is not behaving neutrally.
