Is a judge allowed to discuss a case with anyone prior to trial???

Likewise is he/she allowed to review potential evidence prior to trial i.e., information which has NOT become part of the trial record . . . in fact to have reviewed information that he/she ultimately REFUSED to become part of the trial record by sustaining an objection to its introduction. Despite the latter, wouldn't the judge's knowledge of the potentially damaging information be sufficient grounds for a mistrial????

If it is improper for a judge to discuss or review a case prior to trial, what sanctions would he/she be subject to if it's suspected/determined that's what occurred????

Generally, a judge is not allowed to do those sorts of things.

But you have asked exceptionally vague questions.

If you gave us facts and details (not conclusions) we might be able to discuss this more intelligently.
