The Model Code requires a judge to disqualify in any proceeding in which the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including personal bias or prejudice, personal knowledge of disputed facts, an economic interest in the matter, or a close family relationship to a party or lawyer. General inconvenience or a party's self-representation is not a ground.
