A change of venue refers to a change in what aspect of a trial?

A change of venue specifically refers to a change in the location where a trial is held. This may occur for various reasons, including concerns about impartiality due to pretrial publicity, safety concerns, or logistical issues. When a venue changes, it means that the court's jurisdiction shifts to another geographical area, which may impact the accessibility to witnesses and jurors.

The other options pertain to different aspects of a trial that are not relevant to venue changes. Legal representation involves the attorneys or legal counsel involved, while trial type may refer to the category of trial (such as civil or criminal) and evidence presented concerns the materials and information brought forward in the case. These elements do not inherently involve a change of venue, which is solely focused on the trial's location.
