End Judge Shopping Act

United States119th CongressHR-2795House of Representatives
Updated: Apr 9, 2025

Summary

This bill, known as the "End Judge Shopping Act," proposes to amend title 28 of the United States Code to regulate the issuance of nationwide injunctions . Its core purpose is to prevent civil actions that seek orders enforceable across all U.S. districts and divisions from being heard by a single judge in a district court division. Specifically, the legislation mandates that any civil action seeking such a broad injunction must be brought only in a division of a judicial district that has two or more active judges assigned . This change aims to mitigate concerns about "judge shopping" and ensure that significant, nationwide legal remedies are considered by a multi-judge panel, thereby promoting a more robust judicial review process for these impactful decisions.
