The federal Judicial Code states that a judge must recuse himself “in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”
These include proceedings in which the judge has a personal bias or prejudice against a party, when the judge has served as an attorney or witness in the case or any stage of it, and when the judge or a member of the judge’s immediate family has a financial interest in the case.
