Venue refers to what city or county you can use to file your complaint. It is an important issue in personal injury as well as divorce cases. For personal injury cases it is important because the venue is the location from which potential juries are selected. For divorce cases it is important due to the pace of getting cases scheduled and the judge's particular orientation on custody issues. Generally as you will see below venue depends on residency and employment issues.
