Standing in front of a jury is a really interesting and unusual exercise. For many years and dozens and dozens of trials, I used to think of it as an effort to find people who would find your client not guilty. Even more, I tried to limit to impact of others saying things I didn’t want to hear. I was wrong.

“When I’m picking a jury, I’m hunting.”

As I stand before a group of potential jurors now, I know what I’m looking for. I’m hunting. What is my theory, what is my theme? I then think about people who see the world in this similar way. This way, when I say something, people will viscerally agree.
