[QUOTE="witzend, post: 284947, member: 99"] It has more to do with having been before the judge in the past and winning or losing and being able to say "he hates me" or "He always takes care of me"; or the possibility of having state's business before the judge in the future. They don't want it to seem that there were favors given or that favors should be expected in the future. State and local officials are before these judges all of the time, and if they haven't been, they will be at some point. They can't have personal matters heard by judges they might expect to work with or have worked with in the past. [/QUOTE]
