I'm OK, You're Catatonic/Schizophrenic - S5-E14

Al: When I was young, my mother told me Santa Claus was real. But then, when I got older, she told me he wasn't. One book says Jesus is real. One book says he isn't. We're living in the greatest country in the world. And we're murdering each other in the streets. What did they expect when they made us believe in the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny? And then gave us the nuclear bomb to play with. Hey, diddle-diddle, that and the fiddle is a lie like all the rest. The astronauts... killed the man in the moon. Growing up took care of the rest.

Questions

Nobody Says Rat Fink Anymore - S8-E10

Question: Harry recognizes one of the defendants who used to bully him when they were both children. Harry says that he can't participate in the case because of this, and also because that would make it a conflict of interest. Wouldn't any cases where his father was brought before him also be considered a conflict of interest, and why would Harry be allowed to preside over his father's cases?

Answer: Harry's father only came to his court as a defendant once (about trying to start a mutiny on the ferry). Harry said he was going to recuse himself when Christine said the Dept. Of Transportation had already dropped the charges, so it was a moot point.

This might be spoilerriffic; however, I think they're talking about Harry's real father, Buddy.

So am I. Harry's stepfather died when he was a teenager.

Answer: Harry recuses himself from the case because of his own conflict of interest, however, his father is usually brought in for simple public disturbances and with his mental health record, gets remanded to a mental facility for examination. In cases like those, the judge's task is little more than signing a form, so there's not really a question of impartiality to be considered.
