Applications for nationwide injunctions against government programs and regulations present difficult challenges for both district and circuit judges and are the subject of continuing public controversy. This panel will explore: the history of nationwide injunctions; the legal doctrines upon which parties seeking and opposing such injunctions rely: some of the practical considerations judges are called upon to weigh, including applicants’ choice of forum, the nature and extent of the relief sought: the appropriate role of judges in shaping public policy; and what possible options might address current concerns.
