                          RULE 2.3

    (a) Where To Appeal. A party must seek review of a decision in a             
criminal case in the superior court of the county in which the offense           
allegedly occurred if the court of limited jurisdiction from which the           
appeal is taken is located in a joint justice court district. In all other       
cases, a party must seek review in the superior court for the county in          
which the court of limited jurisdiction from which the appeal is taken is        
located.                                                                         
    (b) Change of Venue. If a party seeks review in the wrong superior           
court, the venue of the appeal shall be changed to the proper superior           
court on motion of a party or on the initiative of the superior court.
