Venue is the actual location where the trial will be held. Think about geographical location. It is usually the most convenient location based on where a crime was committed or that is close to the parties involved. In a civil action, venue is often determined by the residence of the defendant or plaintiff.
Usually, venue is in the county where: The person you are suing lives or does business (if you are suing a business or organization); or. The dispute arose, like where an accident happened, or where a contract was entered into or broken.
For example, if the defendant owns a home (?real property?) in the state or conducts substantial business in the state, then the court may be able to have personal jurisdiction over him/her.
When a Motion for Change of Venue is filed in a criminal case, it means either the prosecution or the defense is asking the judge to move the upcoming trial to a different place.
