The following subsections provide a quick summary of the jurisdiction and venue requirements and the available discovery procedures in general district court. To move your case to another court, you must make a "Motion to.A: Are you changing venue as in moving from one county in Va. to another county? Or, are you changing to a new state? A motion for a change of venue is a legal request for a party to transfer the case from one location to another. Courts may order a venue change pursuant to a common-law doctrine called "Forum non conveniens" (Latin derivative of "forum not agreeing"). Change of venue doesn't apply when you are sued in one state court and want to move the case to your home state. I was wondering if you know the exact process for filing a motion for change of venue in a case that has been closed. You cannot "make up" a reason just to get a different Judge. That is not how our court system works.
