There is a fascinating but largely unknown procedure in the Code of Civil Procedure for disqualification of judges. The purpose of this article is to educate the legal community about this subject.
When lawyers and judges think about the subject of disqualifying a judge, most of us immediately focus on Code of Civil Procedure section 170.6 procedure at the beginning of a case.
