Venue changes for convenience require showing substantial inconvenience to parties or witnesses through forum non conveniens motions. Courts balance private interests like witness access against public interests in local controversy resolution. Plaintiff’s forum choice receives deference absent strong countervailing factors. Availability of alternative forums with jurisdiction matters. Document and evidence location influences decisions. Local interest in controversies supports retaining venue. Federal transfers under 28 U.S.C. § 1404 offer broader discretion than state forum non conveniens. Strategic filing anticipates transfer attempts. Conditional transfers ensure cases proceed somewhere. Cost considerations alone rarely justify transfers.
