Abstract Impartiality is one of the core values underlying the administration of justice. A complaint about the lack of impartiality of a judge may be filed on the grounds of the judge’s behaviour or his verbal behaviour. In this paper I will analyse complaints that concern the verbal and rhetorical behaviour of the judge. I will explore what role these complaints can play in the strategic manoeuvring of a party who seeks the judge’s disqualification.
