Article 216-Impartiality |
|
|
Canon 2733 |
|
|
Impartiality is the conscious separation in the present moment of the emotion of compassion from the other virtues of respect, honesty and courage so that compassion is present but does not overwhelm the founding virtues. Hence Impartiality is best described as “detached compassion”. |
|
|
|
Canon 2734 |
|
|
Impartiality is the fifth of the seven virtues of law and upon which the remaining two virtues are based. It is typified by a consciousness of the physical manifestation of all four base virtues. |
|
|
|
Canon 2735 |
|
|
An absence of compassion and empathy is not impartiality but sociopathy. |
|
|
|
Canon 2736 |
|
|
A judge or magistrate found not to be impartial concerning a matter before them, must immediately disqualify themselves or face the accusation of perverting the course of justice. |
