It's a bit odd to see the judge jump between referring to herself in both first-person and third-person even in the same sentence. I guess that's normal for this sort of thing?
- puffoflogic 4y agoA distinction is being drawn between two entities: the Court and the judge. The Court makes legal rulings but it is the judge who is recused. A more traditional formula would be to refer to the judge as "the undersigned", and then there's no mixing first person. The first person references we actually see are rather informal but probably part of the court's preferred style.
