Venue, transfer, and forum non conveniens for MBE (Professor Nathenson, May 2015)

This is the sixth in a series of videos recorded July 2015 as part of a review of Civil Procedure topics in preparation for the July 2015 MBE (Multistate Bar Examination).
This fifth video covers selected issues regarding venue. Topics covered include:
* Venue for removed cases
* Venue
* The venue fallback
* Determining "residence" for 1391(b)(1)
* Transfer versus dismissal (1404 and 1406)
* Forum non conveniens
I have additional resources on these subjects, some of which are noted by annotations. In particular, see the problem set with explanations at www.nathenson.org/courses/civp....
Caveat to those taking the bar exam: This video and the other videos in this series are directed towards preparation for the MBE multiple-choice exam. Time constraints prevent me from discussing all potential Civil Procedure MBE topics or issues listed in the MBE outline that might arise on the bar exam, and these same constraints limit the depth of information I can provide. Contrary to what the Rolling Stones claim, time is not on our side.
Caveat to JD students: These videos focus on selected basics with an eye towards the bar exam. They stick to the basics and do not cover the law with the level of depth that I would expect from a JD student taking a professor-written examination.

Hi, I am from Croatia eu, and I'm doing thesis which is forum non conveniens and possible implentation in domestic law system, and this REALLY helps to understand it for someone who comes from civil-law country! Thank you !!

[@ProfessorNathenson]

Thank you. And you are very welcome, Dante. FNC in the USA is odd because of our dual court systems (state and federal). Does Croatia have a similar dual court system?

[@bojicc9miso]

Not today, since it is an unitaristic country, so the jugding system is more simplified when compared to US. But, there is something very similar ; every EU member state is responsible to EU court of justice which makes sure that all directions and provisions enacted by EU governing institutions were properly implemented in all EU states. Last year came verdict from that court over a dispute which included Ireland jurisdiction and UK, and the previous question was wether the Ireland was appropriate forum and for the first time, countries that practice civil-law tradition used something very close to FNC!

[@ProfessorNathenson]

Interesting! In US, analyses for personal jurisdiction, transfer of venue, forum non conveniens, choice of law, and more oftentimes look to similar considerations regarding contacts, interests, etc.
