Judiciary takes action on ‘judge shopping’ following pressure
Quick Glance: Random Judge Assignments to Combat 'Judge Shopping' in U.S. Courts
  • Federal judiciary leaders have introduced a policy mandating the random assignment of judges in civil cases with statewide or national significance to address concerns regarding 'judge shopping' in single-judge divisions.

  • Courts can still assign cases to a single-judge division if they do not involve seeking statewide or federal actions through declaratory judgment or injunctive relief.

  • The random case-assignment policy aims to deter judge shopping and prevent cases from being assigned based on the perceived merits or abilities of a specific judge, promoting proceedings' impartiality and enhancing public trust in the federal Judiciary.

  • While some experts welcome the policy change, others question the Judicial Conference's authority and argue that Congress should provide solutions rather than a policymaking body.

WASPI women to get compensation after state pension blunder
Quick Glance: Compensation Demanded for Women Affected by Pension Age Changes - Ombudsman
  • In 1995, a law was passed setting out a timetable to gradually raise the retirement age for women to 65, aligning it with men.

  • The coalition government decided in 2010 to accelerate this timetable, resulting in the new higher retirement age for women being brought forward to 2018.

  • The ombudsman suggests that women in the sample cases should receive compensation ranging from £1,000 to £2,950, but the Department for Work and Pension (DWP) disagrees.

  • Based on the report, the DWP strongly doubts providing a remedy and has asked Parliament to intervene in light of the significant impact of maladministration.
