FAQ

In federal court cases, venue is determined by different criteria than state court cases. Venue is based on the specific level of court. U.S. District Court is the proper venue in cases where federal law is at issue or defendants to the action do not reside in the state where the action was filed.

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).

Reasons for changes of venue include pretrial publicity, bias, political atmosphere, and any other circumstance that the parties believe would prevent them from obtaining a fair trial in the county in which the case was originally filed.
