Qitzur Shulchan Arukh – 181:5-6
It is prohibited for a litigant to tell some matter of the case before a judge when it is not in front of his fellow litigant. And he should not make him self early to come before the judge before his fellow, so that it shouldn’t lead to suspicion that he came early to lay out his case when not before his fellow.
Just as a judge who accepts a bribe — even to exonerate the innocent [so the ruling isn’t altered] violated a prohibition, so to the person who gives the bribe violates [that] prohibition and [the one of] “before a blind person, do not place a stumbling block.”
