Being biased is the ethical issue. However, accusing a judge of being biased could simply be the personal opinion of an involved party rather than being factual. Any seated judge who cannot render a fair ruling in any case due to his or her connection with the participants or his or her personal views on the matter at hand should recuse themselves. Whether or not judges take such action under the aforementioned circumstances is another matter and a subject of considerable debate in the legal community.
