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.
