Seyfarth’s Esther Slater McDonald was quoted on how a lawsuit by President-elect Trump against CBS News in Texas has raised the issue of jurisdiction shopping in both Legal Dive and Yahoo! Finance. McDonald discussed how lawyers choose specific courts for certain cases based on which party may be favored in that jurisdiction.
