An effective opening argument will set the tone for your case and connect the jury with your story.

The jury holds your client’s fate in their hands. Effective jury selection helps you identify those jurors who will be biased against your case and will not be able to treat your client fairly. This panel will focus on jury selection, including building rapport with jurors, identifying juror biases, developing cause challenges, protecting your best jurors, and dealing with limits on voir dire so you can select the best jury possible.
