I thought all U.S. District Courts had random assignment of cases to judges?
- SeanLuke 4y agoHe's the only district judge in the Waco Division, so if you applied there, you'd get him.
- schoen 4y agoOh, so I guess they didn't have random assignment across divisions (which maybe some districts do and other districts don't?).
- registeredcorn 4y agoI'm completely clueless on the court process. Wouldn't that mean that, depending on who you got, you might have to travel an absurd distance just to get your court case heard? It's good to help fight patent trolls, but it sounds like it puts a lot of burden on the sincere cases.
