Khadr has moved for one of the three judges on his appeal – Judge William B. Pollard III – to disqualify himself. Judge Pollard is a civilian who serves as a part-time judge on the Court. He also maintains a private law practice. Khadr contends that this arrangement is unlawful and requires Judge Pollard's disqualification. In a written opinion, Judge Pollard denied Khadr's motion. Judge Pollard ruled that the relevant statutes authorize the civilians who serve as judges on that Court to also maintain a part-time private law practice.
