I think really one of the first things I'm concerned about in this case is the length of the trial and the complexity of the issues. Jury selection is a misnomer because when you come into the courtroom as a litigant, what you're really doing is engaging in a process of deselecting jurors that you don't want.
But having said that, you would want to develop a profile of jurors you think will be most amenable to your side of the case. Always keeping an eye out for those who are potentially dangerous to your case. I think if you're working with a defense in this case, what you're looking for is a person who will take to heart the instruction to wait for the entire story.

As we know, plaintiff gets to go first. Plaintiff will do its very best during its case in chief to put over the most aggressively pro-plaintiff version of the story that it can't. And of course, you want jurors at that point still to be willing to hear from the other side, not to be so emotionally inflamed that they can't calm down and listen to the other version of the case.

if you're the defense, again, you're looking for markers of the ability to delay gratification. And I think in this case, that means just as examples, maybe folks with advanced degrees, people who have pursued an educational path maybe longer than others, people who appear to be in good health, who will give answers on the questionnaires that suggest that they are

capable of listening calmly and patiently to the entire case and sort of navigating through some of these. I saw this medical testimony is very complex. Some of the legal issues, the orders that have come down are hard to navigate.

In a sense, what's happening, one version of this case is that Miata Kowalski is being put on trial. And so as a plaintiff attorney, I'm looking for folks who will identify, I think, with Beata's plight, who will emotionally, psychologically put themselves in her position and view the whole narrative through Beata's eyes.

Perhaps someone who is more prone to think maybe emotionally rather than being coldly rational about things, looking to deselect the folks that I think are favorable to the defense. So the The higher level education folks, the folks who have been established in the same career for a long time, the folks whose life history suggests a lot of stability.

Those are the people that I think I want to strike as the plaintiff attorney because I'm looking for the opposite.
