Motion Venue

To achieve a change of venue, defendants typically have to show a reasonable likelihood that they can't receive a fair trial.Other reasons for a change of venue include: a judge who is prejudiced against the defendant, and. in capital cases, a jury pool that's predisposed for or against the death penalty.

A "motion" is simply a formal request to a court that it do something or decide an issue in favor of the party that asks for it. "Granted" means the court agreed with the request, and did or decided in favor of the requester.

Venue is the location where a civil or criminal case is decided. In state courts, venue is decided by where the plaintiff or defendant lives or does business. It can also be decided based on the location of witnesses or even the court.In real estate law, venue is decided by the location of the property at issue.

Hearing on a motion is Motion Hearing. A Motion is a request asking a judge to issue a ruling or order on a legal matter.At a motion hearing, each party can argue its position and the judge can ask specific questions about the fact or law. After hearing the judge decides the motion and this is called an order.

While jurisdiction says in what state and what court you file your lawsuit, venue is the county where you file your action. 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.

Each judge has her/his own habits and it's difficult to speak to the speed of a judge outside of my personal experience. But as a general rule, you can expect a decision in this type of matter in anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months.

After you complete your motion, you must file it with the court.You must then serve (mail) a copy of your filed motion (including all exhibits and the date, time, and place of hearing) to all other parties in the case. If a party is represented by an attorney, mail the motion directly to the attorney's office.

A motion is an application to the court made by the prosecutor or defense attorney, requesting that the court make a decision on a certain issue before the trial begins. The motion can affect the trial, courtroom, defendants, evidence, or testimony. Only judges decide the outcome of motions.

In state actions, proper venue usually depends on where the defendant resides.If the case is to determine the status of real property, or if jurisdiction is based on attached real property (i.e., cases based on quasi-in-rem jurisdiction), the proper venue is usually the county in which that property is located.
