No. Recusal (disqualifying oneself from a case) for conflict of interest is a voluntary action; justices cannot be penalized for refusing to do so. Unfortunately, this has lead to situations where justices have heard -- and voted on -- cases in which they should not have been involved.

If that is indeed the case, then there would not be a conflict of interest and the plaintiff may use whomever he or she choose to represent them. It would likely be beneficial to the client to retain the same attorney as he or she would be quite familiar with the specifics of the case.
What if a Supreme Court justice has a conflict of interest?
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.
