prejudicially
In biased fashion
Prejudicially means in a way that causes harm or disadvantage, or in a way shaped by prejudice.
Legal contexts use it for actions that damage someone's case or rights: The delay prejudicially affected the defendant's ability to mount a defense.
More generally, it describes acting with bias: The committee prejudicially dismissed applications from younger candidates.
