This arguably makes voir dire the most important part of your trial—and certainly one of the most challenging.

Your main goal in jury selection is: 1) develop trust and credibility; 2) frame your issues; 3) get bad jurors off by protectory strike or strikes for cause. You must be a good listener. There are a variety of questions that can be asked to determine who are good jurors. I will nto go into that level of detail. With regard to strikes for cause, you need to identify the bias; get the juror to commit to... Which topics did you find least valuable and why? I don't really have a response to this. I believe that all the informatoin that Mr. Simon provided was valuable and as I mentioned, it was distilled down to its very essence, so the informatoin was easy to understand and digest."
