One scenario off the top of my head ...

Suppose the end of a term is coming up. A justice/judge is young enough to need to continue working after his term. A controversial ruling is coming up. The justice considers how the ruling will affect his job prospects - or - he is outright promised a prestigious position if he rules a particular way.
