Venue, in law, locality in which a criminal offense or civil litigation is to be conducted. The concept of venue involves important issues of public policy in the adjudication of crimes. Local and general statutes specify the court in which a criminal offense or civil claim must be tried.
Section 1404(a) of Title 28 provides that: "for the convenience of parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice, a district may transfer any civil action to any other district where it might have been brought." Any party, including plaintiff, may move for a transfer under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).
A venue is the place where an event or meeting is happening. If you're going to see the best band ever, you should get to the venue early to get a good seat. Venue is derived from the Latin for "come" (venire), and it's a place people come to.
A change of venue is the legal term for moving a trial to a new location.
New Venue means, as at any date of determination, any new or relocated Venue that has not yet opened to the general public or which has been open to the general public, in whole or in part, for less than twelve (12) months.
Venue location means an indoor or outdoor location used primarily as a space to hold a concert or musical performance. “Venue location” includes, but is not limited to, a restaurant, bar, or brewery that regularly offers live musical entertainment.
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.
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.
