What can I do if I don't like the judge?

Generally you're stuck with the judge, whether you like them or not. At the very first appearance you can make a motion to exclude the judge for actual bias reasons. If you believe the judge is biased or your attorney believes the judge is biased, you can have the judge removed or disqualified. It's called papering the judge. Usually it's not a good idea because, just like any other real world, all of the judges are judges in the same building and you're just going to be sent to the judge down the hall who's going to be annoyed that he's being sent somebody else's work. Generally not a good idea to paper the judge unless the judge is actually biased.
