Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 5044197, member: 3850"] Why "home court" advantage in the courts has been contentious... Judge Bledsoe in the North Carolina suit is the Chief Business Court Judge of NC. That position is nominated by the governor and confirmed by the legislature for an 8 year term. So he essentially supervises the business court of NC which specializes iin "complex" business cases. The process of creating the NC business court is steeped in NC power politics. FSU in the Florida court and Clemson in the South Carolina court fought to have jurisdiction because they suspect he will take the position that the ACC is a major NC business that requires his close protection.
