Obstruction of justice refers to intentionally impeding or interfering with the administration of justice. This includes preventing or delaying a justice official from performing their duties. Judicial misconduct refers specifically to unethical behavior by a judge, not necessarily obstruction of justice. Contempt refers to disobedience or disrespect towards a court or its officials, but not necessarily obstruction of justice.
