Limiting Nationwide Injunctions from Single-Judge Divisions

This act aims to change how nationwide court orders, which can affect all citizens across the country, are issued. Under the new rules, such orders can only be issued in courts where at least two judges are assigned. This is intended to prevent a single judge's decision from impacting the entire United States, increasing legal stability and predictability.
Key points
Nationwide court orders, affecting all citizens, can only be issued in courts with at least two judges.
The change aims to limit "judge shopping" for broad-reaching decisions.
This rule may affect the speed and manner of resolving nationwide legal cases.
