venue change
New location chosen
A venue change is the relocation of a legal proceeding—typically a trial—from one court or jurisdiction to another.
Defense attorneys commonly request a venue change when pretrial publicity has been so extensive that finding impartial jurors in the original location seems unlikely: The defense filed a motion for a venue change, citing months of inflammatory news coverage.
