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.
