Abstract
States have canons of judicial conduct as well as rules governing circumstances when judges should recuse themselves from hearing cases. The rules may provide for judges to remove themselves and/or for litigants or their attorneys to seek their removal. The difficulty is what to do where judges do not remove themselves but counsel or a client believes a judge is not impartial.
