Forum Shopping

Forum shopping refers to the practice of choosing to bring a legal case in one jurisdiction over another, often to take advantage of more favorable laws or procedures. Individuals or businesses may seek a court that they believe will be more sympathetic to their case or where the legal environment is more advantageous. This can involve selecting a place with more lenient judges, more suitable statutes, or a jury pool that may be more favorable to their position. While it is a strategic legal choice, it can also raise concerns about fairness and equal treatment in the justice system.
