Claire Plotkin - Are You Striking Your Best Jurors?

from Picking Justice

In jury selection, many attorneys focus solely on getting cause challenges. But jury consultant Claire Plotkin brings a fresh perspective on framing "bias" to the conversation with hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer. She explains that telling jurors they're "biased" can backfire – especially in cases where potential jurors' strong feelings might actually benefit plaintiffs. "In today's society, jurors are so ready to be inflamed that they're actually better for plaintiffs," Claire notes. Tune in to learn why sympathy isn't bias, how to protect your good jurors from defense challenges, and why Claire believes voir dire is about learning, not just eliminating jurors through cause challenges.Learn More and Connect☑️ Claire Plotkin | LinkedIn | X☑️ Justice One Trial at a Time☑️ Harry Plotkin | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram☑️ Dan Kramer  | LinkedIn ☑️ Kramer Trial Lawyers on LinkedIn | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram☑️ Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeProduced and Powered by LawPodsEpisode sponsored by Baldwin Settlements and Verdict Videos.
