A judicial panel has found that eleven attorneys from major LGBTQ rights groups and law firms engaged in impermissible judge-shopping to steer litigation challenging Alabama's ban on gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth in 2022. This unethical practice was identified in three different federal cases. The attorneys are now facing potential sanctions for their actions. Additionally, in Illinois, a controversy has arisen over diversity policies in the courtroom. Three federal judges rescinded policies aimed at giving women and minority lawyers more opportunities to argue cases early in their careers. These policies had been challenged by two conservative legal groups, leading to judicial misconduct complaints. The chief judge of the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit rejected these complaints against three district judges who had issued orders promoting these opportunities.
