Question: Can a judge me involved in a DUI case with accident in which he knows someone?

Answer: No, if the Judge has personal ties to any of the parties involved (for example the victim of a DUI injury car accident), the Judge should recuse himself/herself from that case. If that doesn’t happen, have your attorney file a motion to have a new Judge hear the case.
