Getting a Different Judge 101

Judges like all people come in different shapes, sizes, and colors. Getting one you like is usually not like picking a crayon. So if you are left with NO choice you must do your best with the judge you have.

Understanding the psychology of that judge. How do they truly think, feel, and deal with different crimes can make a difference in the outcome of your case. Ultimately the judge will be the one deciding your fate.


Judge recusal is difficult at best and not usually a possibility. The judge you start with is generally the judge that you finish with. So remember to be nice to everyone including the judge.

Recuse. To disqualify or remove oneself as a judge over a particular proceeding because of one's conflict of interest. Recusal, or the judge's act of disqualifying himself or herself from presiding over a proceeding, is based on the Maxim that judges are charged with a duty of impartiality in administering justice.

Unless you know the judge or someone close to you knows the judge, getting the judge to say he or she can't be fair and impartial is not happening anytime soon.
