The Fifth Circuit Court decidedly censored a New Jersey federal court for breaking the inherent ethos of mutual respect amongst the federal circuits. This followed an unusual refusal by the New Jersey court to shift claims back to Texas. The claims in question asserted that the New Jersey attorney general was breaching the free speech rights of a corporation intent on providing blueprints for 3-D printable handguns. Billed as a clear-cut violation of the principle of courteousness in legal proceedings, the move incited robust criticism from the Fifth Circuit.
The wider legal implications of this New Jersey court’s decision are sizable, as it introduces a fresh dimension to cross-state disputes, and stimulates discussion over the negotiable boundaries of mutual respect in federal law practice.
