Judicial body says courts have discretion on new 'judge-shopping' policy after GOP backlash

4. The news release makes it clearer

that it is targeting cases where the ruling is anticipated or expected to apply "nationwide", and those should not be assigned to "single judge" districts but instead should be randomized (within a state or area) - https://www.uscourts.gov/news/2024/03/12/conference-acts-promote-random-case-assignment

The amended policy applies to cases involving state or federal laws, rules, regulations, policies, or executive branch orders. District courts may continue to assign cases to a single-judge division when they do not seek to bar or mandate state or federal actions, whether by declaratory judgment and/or any form of injunctive relief.
