Venue Map

Venue means place of trial.

Criminal Rule 18 explains how to use the court system's venue map Adobe Acrobat PDF logo to determine the place where a defendant's trial will be held.

In addition to the presumptive trial sites shown on the venue map, there is also a list of approved additional trial sites in Administrative Bulletin 27 Adobe Acrobat PDF logo. As explained in Criminal Rule 18(e), a defendant may ask the court to transfer the trial to one of those sites if it is:

  1. within the venue district where the crime charged is alleged to have occurred, and
  2. is the trial site nearest to the place where the crime charged is alleged to have occurred.

Judicial district lines are also shown on the venue map.
