"Texas Federal Court Rejects Effort to Curb 'Judge Shopping' Tactic"

The Chief U.S. District Judge of the Northern District of Texas has rejected a policy aimed at curbing "judge shopping," a practice where cases are filed in specific divisions with favorable judges. This decision came in response to a letter from Democratic U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. The rejected policy would have required random assignment of judges for cases challenging federal or state laws, disrupting a tactic used by conservative litigants in Texas. The decision not to implement the policy was made after blowback from Senate Republicans and conservative judges, and the court's case assignment process will remain unchanged for now.
