Judicial Bias

When a judge does not uphold the requirement that the judge be impartial. Suspected by pretty much any litigant who gets a ruling that goes against them, this is rarely proven. As upset as one might be by a ruling, it is generally not worthwhile to pursue a claim that the judge was biased against you unless real evidence exists of a conflict and bias (and the ruling that went against a litigant does not count). See also Partiality.
