home cooking

    0.03 sec.
home cooking

A slang expression indicating the fear held by out-of-state or out-of-town defendants in a lawsuit that they will not receive a fair trial because of jury prejudice or because judges will not accord out-of-town lawyers the same credibility and leniency granted to local lawyers. This is the reason for most forum shopping clauses in contracts between local persons and large, usually nationwide, companies. The forum shopping clause requires any lawsuits to be brought in the other party's jurisdiction, thus presumably giving them the advantage of home cooking.
