Texas federal court rejects proposal to curb "judge shopping" practice.
A federal court in Texas has rejected a policy aimed at curbing "judge shopping," a practice where litigants strategically file cases in courthouses perceived to be sympathetic to their cause. The US District Court of the Northern District of Texas has decided not to adopt a proposal that would change how cases with statewide or nationwide implications are assigned, despite calls from the US judiciary's policymaking body to do so. Critics argue that the practice of judge shopping is undermining the integrity of the judicial system.
