There's a common thing known as "judge shopping". The big wigs and those with enough money can ensure that a trial goes to a court in an area that is likely to be favorable to their interests.

For example, if a company is going to court because of something environmental or anti-worker, they'll try to get the court session held in a conservative jurisdiction.
