New York City Housing Development Corporation v. William T. Hart, Judge, United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “A judge may decide close calls in favor of recusal. But there must first be a close call.”
• “Section 455(a) [would] become[] a form of peremptory challenge against the judge. The statute does not create such a challenge, however. That is the point of limiting disqualification to a case where the judge’s “impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”
