I believe it is just local practice that you try to get a jury first. If you have good documentation that it would not be possible to get an impartial jury, I would file the pre trial motion.

We have a salacious double murder case and the client wants a change in venue.  Our understanding is that we need to try to pick an impartial jury first.  Is this correct?  When is the right time for such a motion?
