A quick definition of conflict out:

Term: CONFLICT OUT

Definition: When a lawyer or judge cannot participate in a case because they have a personal or professional connection to one of the people involved. This is to make sure that everyone is treated fairly and there is no bias.

A more thorough explanation:

Conflict out is a verb that means to disqualify a lawyer or judge from a case because of a conflict of interest. For example, if a judge had previously represented one of the parties involved in a case, they would be conflicted out of that case.

Example 1: The judge was conflicted out of the case because he had previously represented one of the litigants.

Example 2: The lawyer was conflicted out of the case because he had a personal relationship with one of the parties involved.

These examples illustrate how a conflict of interest can lead to a lawyer or judge being disqualified from a case. It is important for legal professionals to avoid conflicts of interest to ensure that they can provide fair and impartial representation.
