Grounds for change of place of trial
§ 510. Grounds for change of place of trial. The court, upon motion, may change the place of trial of an action where:
1. the county designated for that purpose is not a proper county; or
2. there is reason to believe that an impartial trial cannot be had in the proper county; or
3. the convenience of material witnesses and the ends of justice will be promoted by the change.
On motion, the court may move the case when:
1. the designated county is not a proper county; or
2. an impartial trial can't be had there; or
3. convenience of material witnesses and the ends of justice favor the change. ★ (Memorize the three grounds.)
