Jury Voir Dire

Introduction | Process & Roles| Evaluation | Conclusion

 

Task

Here is an example. In the attached link, you will be asked a series of questions as a potential juror in a CIVIL case looking for punitive damages.  Upon completion, you will then be given the results of your inquiry, question by question, as to why a prosecutor might choose/dismiss you and why a defense attorney might choose/dismiss you.    This is really general, but should give you an idea of what this project is about.
