End Judge Shopping Act
HR 2795, the "End Judge Shopping Act," requires lawsuits seeking nationwide injunctions (orders enforceable across all U.S. districts) to be filed only in judicial districts with two or more active judges assigned. This directly affects plaintiffs and their legal teams who currently file such cases in districts perceived as favorable. The bill changes the venue requirement by restricting where these specific lawsuits can be initiated, aiming to prevent strategic filings in jurisdictions with judges likely to grant broad injunctions. It does not alter the court's authority to issue injunctions, only the geographic location where such cases must be filed.
