Criminal cases can apply for off-site jurisdictionCriminal cases are generally under the jurisdiction of the judicial authorities at the place where the case occurred, and the defendant or lawyer has no right to apply for off-site jurisdiction. Relevant legal provisions: Article 24 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that criminal cases shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's court at the place where the crime was committed. If it is more appropriate for the case to be tried by the People's Court of the place where the defendant resides, the case may be under the jurisdiction of the People's Court of the place of residence of the defendant. Article 25 A case over which several people's courts have joint jurisdiction. A case over which several people's courts at the same level have jurisdiction shall be heard by the people's court that initially accepted the case. If necessary, the case may be transferred to the people's court where the principal offender is located for trial.
