Helpful site for understanding the U.S. legal system

I just found this great site The Illustrated Guide to Law, which helps people understand the U.S. Legal system.

There are some finer points of what really happens when you get involved with this nations conviction system.

Today I am learning about Motions to Recuse or Disqualify.

Judges shall disqualify themselves in all proceedings in which: (a) they have served as a lawyer in the
matter in controversy, or a lawyer with whom they previously practiced law served during such association
as a lawyer concerning the matter . . . .

Tex. R. Civ. P. 18b(1)(a). Rule 18b(1)(a)’s reference to the “same matter in controversy” is synonymous
with the Texas Constitution’s reference to “the case.” Tesco Am., Inc. v. Strong Indus., Inc., 221 S.W.3d
550, 553 (Tex. 2006) (rule 18b(1)(a) “was intended to expound rather than expand the Constitution”);
Slaven v. Wheeler, 58 Tex. 23, 25 (1882).
