FAQ
It's very rare for a prosecutor to request a change of venue. I only know of one case and I will describe it below. Changes of venue are generally because it is believed than an impartial jury cannot be impaneled in the current venue. Obviously this is more often a concern for the defense than the prosecution.
Judges are typically afforded significant leeway in deciding whether to change venue. That leeway may make it tough for the defense to convince an appeals court to overturn the decision. (See our sections on appeals and writs.)
The judge must review the facts of the specific case and determine whether a change of venue would be appropriate. For example, the judge may look into whether the foreign national may have a valid defense to removal. They also may be more likely to grant a change of venue if the case has not already been delayed.
YOU NEED TO CHANGE COURTS? To move your case to another court, you must make a “Motion to Change Venue” in writing, and file one copy with the Court where your case is currently located and another copy with the Department of Homeland Security.
An application for a change of venue must be filed at least 10 days before the date set for trial.
A motion for change of venue is a legal tool to ensure a fair trial by addressing concerns such as local bias, pre-trial publicity, or concerns about the impartiality of potential jurors. The successful filing of this motion safeguards the defendant's right to a fair and impartial trial.
The parties must file the motion with the court in which the family law case was originally filed. Then, the court will set a hearing date. Finally, the motion will need to be served on the other party so they can file a response if they do not agree with the request.
The Rodney King case is one example of a notable change of venue where the trial was moved from Los Angeles to Simi Valley to manage impartiality. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, also filed a motion for a change of venue because of pretrial publicity and local bias.
A Motion to Change Venue is a request to change your immigration court to one that is closer to where you live. Your Motion to Change Venue package should include: 1. Form EOIR-33. You need to include a separate Form EOIR-33 for yourself and each family member included in your case.
As we will explain below, the law governing the transfer of proceedings from one court to another generally favours the claimant. Therefore, if you want control over the location of the court where your disputes are resolved, provision ought to be made for this in your contracts.
