Description

Learn proven techniques to get the most out of the voir dire process.Jury selection is among the most important and determinative parts of trial practice, yet most lawyers fear and loathe it. Mainly, that’s because even litigators seldom end up trying a case, so they don’t have much experience with it. Worse than that, law school either didn’t teach the right way to talk to and deselect jurors or taught it wrong. And even worse than that, there is so much legacy nonsense floating around from older lawyers who keep passing down bad practices for generational ineffectiveness. Join trial consultant Rich Matthews for an overview of the correct tactics and strategies to use in jury selection or as he calls it, ‘The Ten Dos and 10,000 Don’ts of Jury Selection.’ The speaker will tour an overall approach to shaping your panel and priming them to be open to your and your client’s case.

Description

Learn proven techniques to get the most out of the voir dire process.Voir dire is one of the most important phases of a jury trial. However, the rules and procedures governing the jury selection process are often informal, subject to the broad discretion of the trial court, and can vary widely between jurisdictions and judges, and even different cases before the same judge. A trial lawyer’s strike decisions are some of the most important strategic decisions made in any jury trial yet, often those decisions must be made with little time for reflection and based upon vague or incomplete information. This topic will provide you with effective techniques for eliciting, organizing and intelligently using the most complete and accurate information possible through the voir dire process. Regardless of whether you represent plaintiffs or defendants, whether you are in state court or federal court, whether your case is civil or criminal, or whether you are preparing for your first jury trial or your 100th, this topic will provide practical advice for getting the most out of the voir dire process.
