The monarch is considered the fountain of justice. Historically the monarch would sit and hear appeals for justice in a court known as "The Court of the King Before the King Himself". Until Magna Carta, in 1215, the court sat where ever the monarch happened to be. It subsequently sat at Westminster Hall in London. This system evolved into The Court of King's Bench (or Court of Queen's Bench during the reign of a Queen) which could hear cases without the monarchs presence. This system was abolished in 1875 with the establishment of the High Court of Justice and the Queen's Bench Division of that court. .

If a US Supreme Court justice has a conflict of interest with regard to a case being heard by the Court, he (or she) should recuse (disqualify, not participate) himself. While this is considered the best course of action, justices are not required to recuse themselves; the decision is voluntary.There have been times when justices sat on cases in which they had a conflict of interest, raising complaints from other members of the court and general public, but there is no remedy for the problem at the moment.
