There are procedures for disclosing of potential conflicts of interest on behalf of a judge. Were they followed here?

Idk what they were but I do know the FTC/Microsoft had opportunity to object to the judge chosen for the case, they both agreed to her and Judge Corley informed both parties right at the start that she has a son who works at Microsoft, the FTC didn't care and the only reason this watchdog knows about it is because she was honest (before the trial even started) about it.

That was more of a rhetorical for the OP, who doesn't seem to have any interest in actually engaging. I'm sure that's something a judge would always disclose, because even if you're sketchy it's something that will be easily discovered. And I'm sure it's something nobody would actually care about unless the son is in one of a few very specific positions in Microsoft.
