Jury Selection
Scott M. Fogg, of the Hunsinger Law Firm, has posted a very helpful jury selection primer on Lawlink.com. Some highlights:
- If you are going to present expert witnesses, prepare the jury for that fact during jury selection
- Favor jurors who will relate to your lay witnesses
- Favor jurors with whom you have a rapport
- Engage the jury panel ~ get them to open up
- Understand how to use challenges for cause as a sword or a shield
- Sell your case during jury selection
