Republicans push back on new federal court policy aimed at 'judge shopping' in national cases
apnews.com/article/judge-shopping-republicans-0c02f6cee235e1e17a843c5ad879bf82
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.
