Judges are supposed to be impartial. But because they’re human beings, they occasionally bring their own thoughts and maybe even biases to a case every now and then. Even U.S. Supreme Court Justices can be affected — they are selected and approved by politicians, after all.

The paper, published in The Notre Dame Law Review, is titled " The New Oral Argument: Justices as Advocates."
