When an attorney requests a change of venue, they are asking to move a trial to a different geographical location. This request is typically made to ensure a fair trial, citing concerns such as potential bias in the original location or the inability to obtain an impartial jury. The attorney must usually demonstrate valid reasons for the request, which the court will then consider before making a decision.
