Law student at Regent University here:

For a federal court to hear a case, there must be subject matter jurisdiction (basically is there a federal question in dispute or are the parties suing from different states or countries), personal jurisdiction (basically can the court exercise proper authority over the parties), and it must be a proper venue (basically is this court a conveniently positioned court for the parties/witnesses). There are 94 district courts in the US and so for any dispute, there are several district courts that would be proper to take the case.

You can transfer venue (district court) if the dispute could have been brought in the other court to begin with AND it would further justice to do so (if it would be more convenient to the parties). Lawyers file to transfer strategically if they think they’ll get a judge that will likely side with them in the other court.

The judge has a lot of discretion in deciding to transfer, and a lot of factors go into it like how busy the different courts are. One big factor is if the transferee venue would be more convenient for the witnesses who are subpoenaed. So yeah, transferring venue isn’t a huge deal, could be good or bad hard to say without looking closer at the case and presiding judge…
