WASHINGTON — The U.S. Judicial Conference on Friday issued guidance on the federal judiciary's new policy making it more difficult to 'judge-shop' following public criticism from top Republicans in Congress. The term refers to a strategy that has been practiced by some conservative lawyers to bring their cases before a judge with a similar ideology. A spokesperson for the administrative office of the U.S.
The practice was highlighted by a high-profile case about federal approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. Anti-abortion rights activists filed a case challenging federal approval in a Texas court where they were guaranteed Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who ultimately ruled in their favor, would hear the case. The case is now before the Supreme Court. The Judicial Conference said on Tuesday that judges would receive guidance on how to implement the policy.
