Fair Courts Act of 2023

The Fair Courts Act of 2023 requires federal district courts to use a three-judge panel to hear cases seeking nationwide injunctions against the federal government or regulations. This applies to temporary or permanent court orders affecting the entire country, such as blocking a federal rule nationwide, but excludes cases heard by the Supreme Court or appeals courts. The bill also mandates random case assignment to prevent any single judge from handling more than 25% of cases, with limited exceptions for criminal matters and specific legal proceedings. Additionally, it requires federal district courts to publicly post their case assignment rules online.
