: Mobile Personal Injury LawyerThe appearance of impropriety
By Pete Burns
Let's hear it for Justice Kennedy who led a 5-4 Supreme Court in Caperton v. Massey Coal Co. to hold that a state judge must withdraw when a party in a case has had a "significant or disproportionate" influence on placing the judge on the court through a large campaign donation.
Almost all judges will welcome the opportunity to recuse when faced with passing judgment on a substantial contributor. Certainly contributors need to know that if they are trying to buy justice they are wasting their money. A good day for American justice.
