The End Judge Shopping Act would require federal district courts to randomly assign certain high-impact lawsuits to judges rather than allowing cases to be directed to specific judges. The legislation targets civil cases that challenge the constitutionality or lawfulness of federal or state laws on a nationwide or statewide basis, as well as cases seeking to block or enforce government policies through court orders. The bill aims to prevent litigants from strategically filing cases before particular judges known for favorable rulings on certain issues. The measure does not specify any funding requirements or implementation timelines. This legislation would affect federal courts, government agencies, and parties involved in major constitutional and regulatory litigation.
