"The most important cause challenge is your first cause challenge," says Khail Parris, who holds the record in Van Nuys with 53 cause challenges in a single trial.

Fresh off a $58 million slip-and-fall verdict and a $7.1 million win against LAUSD, Khail joins hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer to reveal his systematic approach to jury selection.

He breaks down his "warts mini-opening" strategy, explains why he fights for questionnaires in every case, and shares his unconventional method for anchoring damages when judges won't let him mention specific numbers.
