Another popular venue is the Western District of Wisconsin in Madison, a much, much preferable place to spend six weeks than Tyler, TX (even in winter). These are both popular locales for IP cases - the rocket docket and also favorable jury pools (one low-brow and the other high-brow, relatively speaking).
