Mary v. Jane
Jane, a resident of Arkansas, and Mary, a Texan, are involved in a minor fender-bender in a parking lot in Texarkana, Arkansas. The next day, Mary hires a lawyer to sue Jane. "It's the principle of the thing," she says.
Her lawyer files the suit in Texas Superior Court. "Juries are more generous here in Texas," he tells Mary. "Besides, Jane will never get a change of venue. She lives in Texarkana."
What motions, if any, should Jane's lawyer make on her behalf in Texas Superior Court? What arguments should she make to support her motions?
