Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

A civil action for the following causes shall be brought in the county where the cause, or some part of the cause, arose:

(1) A civil action for the recovery of a fine, penalty, or forfeiture imposed by a statute, except that when the violation of the statute for which the claim is made was committed on a watercourse or road that is the boundary of two (2) counties, the civil action may be brought in either county;

(2) A civil action against a public officer for an act done by him or her in virtue or under color of his or her office, or for a neglect of official duty; and
