[blindLaw] Judge Shopping

[Singh, Nandini]

Yes, it does happen, though I think it flourishes among the ranks of the professional plaintiff set. The legal ethics issue is another question. And just so you know, double jeopardy is a criminal law concept and would not apply here.

Hello!

I was looking through an article for one of my classes and came across a term I was unfamiliar with. It called it Judge Shopping, and apparently that is when you just blanket an area with similar lawsuits to different judges trying to see which one will give you the best outcome? Is this something that is actually that much of an issue because it seems grossly unethical and pretty sure it might end up in a violation of double jeopardy because more than one court is trying the same case.

Thanks for your time,
Tom
