How 'judge shopping' is shaping the legal fights against President Trump's agenda in federal court
Fox News
As legal challenges to President Donald Trump's agenda develop, plaintiffs are strategically suing in friendly court venues – a well-known tactic known as "judge shopping."
This strategy serves a distinct legal purpose. While the Supreme Court is the nation’s highest court, most cases don't make it there. That’s because the Supreme Court hears an average of less than 100 cases annually, according to federal judiciary data. In contrast, the 13 U.S. appeals courts handle an average of more than 50,000 cases per year – meaning that these courts often get to rule on the most pressing legal issues.

And while plaintiffs suing the federal government used to have to establish a local, geographic connection to the district where they were filing their lawsuit, Congress broadly moved to lift that requirement more than 30 years ago – allowing the practice to quickly gain prominence.
