Federal court voir dire is often "judicial speed dating" — sometimes just 25 minutes to question 55 strangers.

Brett Schreiber of Singleton Schreiber pulled it off before landing a landmark verdict against Tesla, and he joins hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer to unpack how he picks juries under brutal time pressure.

Brett shares his "two cups and a pitcher of blame" framing for shared-responsibility cases, why he primes reluctant jurors to say "yes" before diving in, and why emotional intelligence and reading the room beat any rigid script.

He also explains why a story of betrayal is the most powerful motivator for jurors.
