End Judge Shopping Act of 2023

Bill 118 HR 3163, also known as the End Judge Shopping Act of 2023, aims to address the issue of judge shopping in the United States. Judge shopping refers to the practice of litigants strategically selecting a specific judge or court in order to increase their chances of a favorable outcome in a legal case.

The bill proposes several measures to combat judge shopping, including the establishment of a national database of judges and their rulings. This database would allow litigants to see the track record of judges and make more informed decisions about where to file their cases.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to increase transparency in the judicial selection process. It requires judges to disclose any potential conflicts of interest and prohibits them from hearing cases in which they have a personal or financial stake. Furthermore, the bill seeks to promote fairness and impartiality in the judiciary by implementing guidelines for the random assignment of judges to cases. This would help prevent litigants from manipulating the system to their advantage. Overall, the End Judge Shopping Act of 2023 aims to uphold the integrity of the judicial system and ensure that all litigants receive a fair and unbiased hearing in court.
