Amazon.com description: Product Description: Turn to this intensively-researched and comprehensive guide to the case law, statutory law and court rules which govern motions to recuse and disqualify judges in every American jurisdiction. An exhaustive source of precedents, analysis and procedural guidance, this 1,185-page volume is the first authoritative treatise to bring current principles of judicial disqualification law into sharp focus. It clearly and succinctly chronicles every legal basis for judicial disqualification, from the common law and constitutional provisions to state and federal statutes and court rules. It examines in full detail all of the various grounds for disqualification including:

* Bias (or an appearance of bias)
* Interest and familial relationships, business and social relationships
* Prior activity as an attorney
* Knowledge obtained in criminal proceedings
* Judicial conduct, comments, and rulings
* And more.

When jurisdictions differ in their approach to the law, Judicial Disqualification supplies expert analysis and commentary-supported by exhaustive case citations-to bring clarity and authority to the issues at hand. You'll find not only in-depth coverage of all of the applicable judicial disqualification provisions and case law but expert analysis of precisely what goes into the court's determination of whether the motion is timely, legally sufficient and procedurally proper. Judicial Disqualification also features exhaustive examination of those factors that mitigate in favor of (or against) disqualification, and the accepted mechanisms for seeking appellate review of judicial disqualification orders, and uncharged crimes and stipulations.
