Where [[judge]]s are expected to be impartial, they must apply the same standards to all people, regardless of their own subjective [[biases]] or [[In-group favoritism|favoritism]], based on: [[social class]], [[Social rank|rank]], [[Ethnic group|ethnicity]], [[gender]], [[sexual orientation]], [[religion]], age or other distinctions.{{Citation needed | date=August 2023}}
