Description
|
The plaintiff's choice is given significant weight even when a defendant seeks to transfer a case under 28 U.S.C. @ 1404(a). The Fifth Circuit in In re Volkswagen of America, addressed the weight the district court must accord to the plaintiff's choice of forum. This commentary, written by Georgene Vairo, Professor and author and editor of several books, including several chapters in Moore's Federal Practice, discusses this issue and also the use of mandamus to review a district court's convenience transfer order.
