Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today we are digging into a commonly-tested exam topic in Federal Civil Procedure – determining proper venue in civil actions.
In this episode we discuss:
- What is venue, and how to distinguish between venue and jurisdiction
- How venue can be properly established and changed
- Venue statutes and their application
- Analyzing two essay questions, from the February 2009 and July 2021 California bar exams
