Quizplus · Accepted Answer

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. Tampering with evidence refers to altering or interfering with evidence in a case, which can also be a form of obstruction of justice. However, the prompt specifically mentions impeding or preventing an official from performing their duties, which is more closely related to obstruction of justice.

To Impede, Prevent, Delay, Obstruct; Justice Official; from Performing Official
