The judge is obligated to be neutral toward both plaintiff and defendant.
A judge's primary responsibility is to uphold the law. When making decisions in a courtroom, a judge is responsible for interpreting and applying the law fairly and impartially. Their role is to ensure that justice is served and the rule of law is upheld. While a judge may have a responsibility to consider the interests of the plaintiff and the community, the foundational duty is to adhere to and enforce the law.
