Abstract
This chapter begins with a discussion of judicial and administrative impartiality, including cases when a judge is disqualified because they may be or fairly suspected to be biased, a history of the test bias, and application of the ‘fair-minded and well-informed observer’ test. It then describes the causes and effects of prejudice.
