This study reports the use of public opinion surveys to support motions to change venue. Step-by-step procedures of venue surveys are outlined, and results of their use in five capital murder trials are presented. Employing a quasi-experimental approach to the surveys allows inferences about the likelihood of obtaining between-county differences of certain magnitudes. In addition, the use of a survey instrument with standardized subparts permits a second, novel type of contrast: comparisons of instant counties with profiles for venue, adjacent and preferred counties derived from similar, previous cases. The responsiveness of this approach to the typical criticisms of venue surveys is discussed.
