True
False
A federal district court may transfer a case to another federal district court for convenience, even if the transferee court could not have originally exercised jurisdiction over the case.
True
False
This statement is false. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), a transfer of venue for convenience can only occur if the case could have been originally filed in the transferee court. The transferee court must meet jurisdictional and venue requirements, including proper subject-matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction over the defendants, and adherence to venue rules. Parties' consent to transfer cannot override these requirements.
