recusatio judicis

Read a random definition: bote

A quick definition of recusatio judicis:

Recusatio judicis: A rule that allows someone to ask a judge to step down from a case if they have a personal connection to one of the parties involved, if they have taken a bribe, or if they don't know enough about the law. A group of three people will decide if the request is reasonable.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Recusatio judicis is a Latin term used in Ecclesiastical law to refer to the procedure and grounds by which a judge may be challenged and removed from hearing a case. The grounds for disqualification traditionally include:

  • Great friendship or enmity with a party
  • Close kinship to a party
  • Acceptance of a bribe
  • Previously giving counsel to a party
  • Demonstrated ignorance of the law

A panel of three arbiters, chosen by the challenging party and the judge, decides whether the party's complaint has merit.

Example: If a judge is assigned to a case where they have a close personal relationship with one of the parties involved, they may be challenged through recusatio judicis. Similarly, if a judge has previously given legal advice to one of the parties, they may also be challenged. In both cases, the judge's impartiality may be called into question, and the challenging party may request that the judge be removed from the case.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how recusatio judicis can be used to ensure that a judge is impartial and unbiased in a case. If a judge has a personal relationship with one of the parties or has previously given legal advice to them, they may be more likely to favor that party in their decision-making. By allowing a challenging party to request the judge's removal, the legal system can ensure that justice is served fairly and without bias.

To me it seems that if you don't have all your responses yet (which all schools know it has been a crazy cycle), then you shouldn't be penalized if you put down a deposit, get a response from another school, and choose to go that direction. If the school is stinky about it, it seems you would have some recourse through LSAC
