- The definition aims to help government departments decide which groups to engage with and fund, as well as identify extremist organizations, individuals, and behaviors.
- Criticism of the definition and new measures continued to grow as Muslim community organizations condemned the proposals.
- The updated definition targets the promotion of an ideology based on violence, hatred, or intolerance, aiming to negate or destroy fundamental rights and freedoms, undermine the UK's democratic system, or create a permissive environment for achieving these goals.

thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4526979-judiciary-takes-action-judge-shopping/
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.
