A quick definition of fovere consimilem causam:

Term: fovere consimilem causam

Definition: Fovere consimilem causam means to favor a similar case. This term is used in law to refer to a situation where a judge who has a personal interest in a case may also be disqualified in a later case if the ruling in the former case could affect the ruling in the latter. In simpler terms, it means that a judge who has a conflict of interest in one case may also have a conflict of interest in another case if the two cases are similar and the ruling in one case could affect the ruling in the other.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: fovere consimilem causam
Definition: To favor a similar case. If a judge is disqualified from a case because they have a personal interest in it, they may also be disqualified from a later case if the ruling in the first case could affect the ruling in the second case.
Example: Judge Smith is disqualified from a case involving a company he owns. Later, another case comes up involving a similar company. Even though Judge Smith doesn't have a personal interest in the second case, he may still be disqualified because the ruling in the first case could affect the ruling in the second case. This is an example of fovere consimilem causam.
