Questionnaire and Voir Dire Design

We carefully design voir dire questions and questionnaires to effectively address judicial criteria and the negotiation of question design with opposing counsel. More importantly, every question is designed and sequenced to discover potential cause or peremptory challenges while hiding positive qualities that might alert opposing counsel to the same issues. We design questions to discover what attitudes, life experiences, and personality traits that will affect how a potential juror will listen to the case as well as how they like to receive and process information to optimize their comprehension and decision-making. We then prepare follow-up questions for each juror to validate these responses as well cause development or rehabilitation questions. We develop a plan designed to prime the Judge as to our concerns about bias toward the case as well as instruction on the specific wording to elicit the most candid responses from jurors.
