3. Consider the following situations and discuss whether a violation of judicial ethics occurred:
a. At the end of a trial, a judge refused to allow an
attorney to present an argument because he said that
he knew what the argument would be and did not
agree with it. Is this interference with the effec-
tive and expeditious administration of business of
courts? (See In re Charge of Judicial Misconduct,
62 F.3d 320 (9th Cir. 1995).)
