Decoding Voir Dire Part 2 | The Jury Selection Series

Episode 46: Decoding Voir Dire Part 2 | The Jury Selection Series




In Part 2 of our five-part jury selection series, Karen Koehler and Mo Hamoudi break down what really happens when you get 20 minutes to talk to 50 to 60 jurors (and somehow remember who said what). Karen walks through the struck method, why “deselection” used to be the whole game, and how she color-codes jurors fast without a consultant. Mo shares why he learned about voir dire through bartending and why vulnerability is the fastest way to elicit honesty from a room full of strangers. They also get into the quiet power move most lawyers miss: actually responding like a human when a juror shares something devastating.
