Episode 18 with Kurt Zaner

Picking Justice: Making Every Minute Count in 15 to 30-Minute Voir Dire

In Colorado, Kurt Zaner typically has 15 to 30 minutes for voir dire, so he makes every minute count.

In this conversation with hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer, he explains how.

“Even though you’ve got 15 minutes, the big points for me: I want to build a little rapport. I want them to trust me. I want them to feel empowered,” he says.

From memorizing juror names to building credibility before discussing damages, Kurt describes strategies that he’s leveraged to secure victories like his $16 million premises liability verdict in Colorado, the state’s largest.
