The Judicial Inquiry Commission has considered your request for an opinion concerning
whether the Canons of Judicial Ethics prohibit a judge from keeping an agreement to
recuse himself in all cases in which certain attorneys represent opposing litigants.
From the facts presented, it appears that a certain attorney has accused the judge of
committing “a gross miscarriage of justice” in reaching a certain decision. The attorney
further accused the judge of favoritism in that case and other cases involving certain
attorneys. The judge denied the allegations.
