WHAT DOES RECUSE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Judicial disqualification

Judicial disqualification, also referred to as recusal, refers to the act of abstaining from participation in an official action such as a legal proceeding due to a conflict of interest of the presiding court official or administrative officer. Applicable statutes or canons of ethics may provide standards for recusal in a given proceeding or matter. Providing that the judge or presiding officer must be free from disabling conflicts of interest makes the fairness of the proceedings less likely to be questioned.

Definition of recuse in the English dictionary

The definition of recuse in the dictionary is to remove from participation in a court case due to potential prejudice or partiality.
