Motion: Recuse or Disqualify a Judge (Federal): Proposed Order

This legal template is a motion that seeks to recuse or disqualify a federal judge from presiding over a particular case. The motion is typically filed by one of the parties involved in the case, alleging a conflict of interest, bias, or prejudice on the part of the judge that could potentially affect their impartiality in making fair and just decisions.

The proposed order attached to the motion outlines the relief requested by the moving party, i.e., the removal of the judge from the case. It presents a formal request for a new, unbiased judge to be assigned to the matter. The order typically includes supporting arguments, relevant legal precedents, and factual evidence supporting the assertion that the judge's continued involvement could compromise the integrity of the proceedings.

This template serves as a helpful guide for attorneys or individuals seeking to initiate the process of recusing or disqualifying a federal judge and ensures that the necessary legal requirements and arguments are appropriately addressed in the motion and proposed order. Adaptation and customization of the template are necessary to fit the specific circumstances and legal requirements of the particular case at hand.
