Text
Judges shall hear and decide matters assigned to them, except those in which
they are disqualified.
Commentary:
[1] To ensure impartiality and fairness to all parties, a judge must be
objective and open-minded.
[2] This Rule should be applied in concert with the equally important
obligation to dispose of court matters timely and effectively. See Rule 2.2.
[3] When applying and interpreting the law, a judge sometimes may
make good-faith errors of fact or law. Errors of this kind do not violate this
Rule.
