Medical | | French term or phrase: juge et partie | A report on therapeutic angioplasty trials. Sentence reads:

Legal beagles call this the « rule against bias ». It would be understood in exactly the same way as the "juge et partie" and is the standard equivalent. Previous suggestions are of course correct in meaning.

IV. Nemo Judex: The Rule Against Bias
"Nemo judex in sua causa debet esse" - no one should be the judge in his/her own cause. This appears to speak to a "conflict of interest" situation. However, the rule against bias is not strictly restricted to that issue, but extends to many situations in which it can be suggested a decision-maker may have a predisposition to a particular outcome.
2 – Dictionary of Law, Curzon, 5th ed., FT Publishing
« aliquis non debet esse judex in propria causa quia non potest esse judex et pars ».
No man should be a judge in his own cause, since he cannot act at the same times as judge and party.

26 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1 judge and judged
Explanation:
A standard phrase, generally with "both", but here you seem to want the short form.
Another standard phrase is "a judge and a party in the same case", obviously very awkward here.

27 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 Judge and judged
Explanation:
'Etre juge et partie' normally means 'to be both judge and judged' i.e. being partial. In your context, I think this phrase is just being used to stress the importance of an independent review of the results obtained from the trials.
