Judges, like police officers and attorneys, are held to a higher ethical standard than the average person; they are expected to be impartial and non-biased in their work. Do you believe a judge can be completely unbiased with every case? Explain your answer. What ethical issues arise when a judge is biased?

I don't think a judge can be completely unbiased; however I believe they take an oath to be or it is the law that they have to be unbiased. I know the state where I live just recently had a judge who did something outside of work which showed bias and he was charged with a crime.

Well, In the case of judges, especially activist ones, when they rule in favor of the (individual) the Will Of The People is left in total disregard ---
Example -(hypothetical)
If say - Jane Doe had a lawsuit regarding her claim or complaint (as an Individual) Then is when the activist Judges step in to do their dirty work, And they are in most cases backed by the ACLU. Now, what does this do? It's essentially throwing our Constitution in the garbage, substituting it with what one individual would want instead of the Will Of The People. And it is destroying our Nation.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!

I am not so sure they are trained to be and unbiased. They are just there to be the impartial voice in a conflict. Everyone is biased no matter how they try bsed on their own life experiences.

No, nobody can be completely unbiased.
Even people who spend years working to eliminate the prejudices still have emotions, and still have personal feelings.
However, if someone is away of their biases, and aware of their emotions, they can factor them in (or out) of their decision making process.
Judges are supposed to be able to apply the law neutrally. They are required to be able to articulate logical reasons for their decisions, and to back up those decisions through the law. If they cannot, their decisions get overturned.
