Who is the respondent in a civil case?

Can a US Supreme Court justice have a relationship with a defendant?
The Supreme Court reviews most cases under its appellate jurisdiction. Apart from hearing legal arguments from the petitioner's and respondent's attorneys, which are limited to 30 minutes each, the entire case review is done "on paper" (or on the computer). Since there is no trial, there is no exposure to a "defendant" (assuming the case involves criminal law). US Supreme Court justices do not have contact, let alone social contact, with parties to cases under review. This would be considered extremely unethical, and could be grounds for impeachment. If a justice has a prior relationship of any kind with the petitioner, respondent, or any party to the case, or any direct or indirect personal interest in the case, he or she would recuse him- or herself due to a conflict of interest, and the matter would be heard and decided without his or her input.

Can a judge seek to elicit testimony or suggest types of evidence to be presented or ask questions of a witness?
During a jury trial, absolutely not. The only time I've ever heard a judge directly question a witness was during a non-jury trial when they wanted to elicit specific information about a complicated subjet that the witness had already tesitified to under direct and cross. Anything else, such as suggested in the question, would be MOST improper and result in a mis-trial.

What are the similarities between impeachment and trial proceedings?
Your question is mixing apples an oranges. Did you mean similarities between indictment and trial proceedings? If not, there is a trial proceeding I believe to impeach a president. Rather it may be a hearing and not a trial. Your question is mixing apples an oranges. Did you mean similarities between indictment and trial proceedings?
