Bill overview
The Stop Judge Shopping Act aims to limit the ability of parties to seek nationwide injunctions in federal court. Specifically, it designates the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia as the sole court with jurisdiction to hear civil cases seeking relief that impacts the entire country when it relates to enforcing federal laws. This prevents what proponents call ‘judge shopping,’ where lawsuits are filed in different courts to obtain more favorable rulings. The bill does not affect other court systems or create new legal rights.
