From the perspective of a European, I'd add that the issue seems to come down to one of trust.
A judge has to be seen to be impartial, even if it ws not illegl, it ooks like a grave error of judgement on his part to take part in a case that was essentially against his (hoped for) future employer.
e may well have a totally clean conscience that he would have made the same decisions regardless, but seeing as the evidence of that is locked up in his head, how could he prove it.
