ביטוי (אנגלית)

Warning to the Judge Not to Be Soft to One and Hard to Another

הגדרה (אנגלית)

The principle of objectivity requires every judge and adjudicator to act in the same manner toward all parties in a case, not being lenient to one and harsh to another.

("A warning to the judge not to be soft to one, as it is written above: ‘Judge your colleague with justice’ – Pnei Yehoshua, Ketubot 46a; and also: ‘A warning to the judge not to be soft to one and harsh to the other… both should be equal when standing before him’ – P’la Yoetz, section 4")
