The Purpose of Voir Dire

In voir dire, an California personal injury attorney must determine the real thoughts the jury has about the issues in your case.  Where a prospective juror can hurt you, it is important to find out while you have an opportunity to remove them.

So the California personal injury attorney asks open ended questions. Instead of asking “Would you be able to ____?” the California personal injury lawyer asks “What difficulties would you have ______? The attorney follows up the question with more open ended question. In so doing, the California personal injury attorney encourages meaningful dialogue with the prospective jurors, giving him the best chance of getting everyone’s bias out. An added feature of open ended questions is that it helps to establish valuable rapport with the jurors. Jurors prefer to be conversationally engaged by a polite attorney.
