Picking Justice: Making Every Second Count: To Voir Dire 35 Jurors in 20 Minutes

Twenty minutes to voir dire 35 jurors?

“Hey, what’s your favorite ice cream? OK; I ran out of time.”

That’s how host and jury consultant Harry Plotkin describes the challenging scenario – one of his favorite things to teach because “it can be done.”

Host Dan Kramer, who soon goes to trial with Harry under these very rules, guides this discussion about how it can be done.

Harry explains how he prioritizes individual questions over group questions to ensure that every juror is heard rather than focusing solely on cause challenges.

He also outlines the top two or three questions he’d ask, depending on the type of case, and tips for spotting an “angry juror.”
