Description

Motion for Change of Venue Pursuant to Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure 98 (c)(1) and 98 (e): This is an official form from the Colorado State Judicial Branch, which complies with all applicable laws and statutes. USLF amends and updates the forms as is required by Colorado statutes and law. A Lakewood Motion for Change of Venue Pursuant to Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure 98 (c)(1) and 98 (e) is a legal request filed by a party in a civil case in the Lakewood jurisdiction. This motion aims to transfer the trial to a different venue within the state of Colorado. The reasons for seeking a change of venue could include concerns about impartiality, convenience, or other factors that may affect the fairness of the proceedings. Rule 98(c)(1) of the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure allows a party to request a change of venue if they believe that an impartial trial cannot be obtained in the current venue. This can occur when there is significant pretrial publicity, public sentiment, or any other factors that may bias potential jurors. The moving party must provide compelling evidence and arguments to support their claim for a change of venue. On the other hand, Rule 98(e) of the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure allows a party to request a transfer of venue if it would be more convenient for the parties, witnesses, or the court itself. This can be based on factors such as proximity to evidence or witnesses, accessibility of the venue, or logistical considerations. Again, the moving party has the burden of proving that a change of venue is necessary for the efficient administration of justice. Different types of Lakewood Motions for Change of Venue may arise depending on the specific circumstances of the case. Some examples include: 1. Pretrial Publicity Motion: This type of motion may be filed when extensive media coverage has potentially prejudiced the jury pool, making it difficult to find impartial jurors in the Lakewood jurisdiction. 2. Transfer for Convenience Motion: This type of motion may be filed when it would be more convenient for all parties involved, including witnesses and the court, to move the trial to a different venue within the state of Colorado. 3. Safety Concerns Motion: In certain cases where the safety of the parties or witnesses may be at risk if the trial remains in Lakewood, a motion for change of venue can seek to address these concerns by moving the trial to a safer location. It is crucial for the party requesting a change of venue to present strong arguments and evidence to support their motion. The court will ultimately decide whether to grant or deny the motion based on the merits of the case and the interests of justice.
