Description

The Motion for Judge Removal or Withdrawal is a legal document used to request the recusal of a judge from a specific case. This form is initiated by a party involved in a lawsuit, either the plaintiff or defendant, and outlines the reasons for the request. It's essential for ensuring fairness in legal proceedings when a judge may have a conflict of interest or bias. The form must be completed with the names of the parties, case details, and reasons for the recusal. After completion, it should be submitted to the appropriate court along with a Notice of Motion which includes the date and time for the hearing. It's also necessary to serve a Certificate of Service, ensuring that all relevant parties are notified. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in litigation, as it helps maintain the integrity of the judicial process. Proper filling and editing of the form are crucial for it to be accepted by the court, and users should be familiar with court procedures to effectively navigate this step.
