The process is set out fully in CA Code of Civil Procedure 170.6 (2):
http://law.onecle.com/california/civil-procedur... if this is not udnertsandbale, you should consult counsel. There are also some time limits that vary according to where the case is at in the system however the best way to go about this is to file with the Court Clerk as soon as possible the necessary motion and declaration under the statute. I have also seen this done orally while in Court by the party stating that he/she would like the judge to disqualify themselves becuause they are prejudiced but to be on the safe side, a written motion is the best way to go and avoids any potential trouble with the judge. 5 people marked this answer as good
