US Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, has announced a new legislation aimed at curtailing ‘judge shopping’ and restoring fairness in the judicial system. The bill, introduced by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and co-sponsored by Senators Durbin, Klobuchar, Blumenthal, and Hirono, is designed to prevent parties from selecting judges and venues they believe will be favorable to their case. It also seeks to ensure that decisions by the Supreme Court are transparent and not influenced by undisclosed conflicts of interest. The legislation, yet to be named, will impose new requirements on the Supreme Court to adopt a code of ethical conduct and increase transparency in the selection of judges.
