Re: Removal of a judge from a particular case
First you should make a request to the judge and ask him/her to recuse themselves. You will of course need an appropriate reason (conflict of interest, etc.). This should be done in writing. If the judge refuses, I believe you can go through the Supreme Court and request removal (this is what I recall, I am not 100% sure). Best Regards Edward DiCato
