As a public defender, Craig Peters focused his voir dire on getting jurors to assure him they’d follow the law. Turns out that jurors can promise they’ll follow the law; it doesn’t mean they will. Now one of California's leading plaintiffs' trial attorneys with multiple eight-figure verdicts, Craig joins hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer to share what he’s learned about jury selection from practicing on both sides. He advocates, for example, for the opportunity to voir dire the entire jury panel rather than the traditional six-pack. “You're one of the only attorneys who I think I've talked to who actually is pushing this, to judges, to do the whole panel,” Dan observes. Tune in for Craig’s insights about why this strategy benefits jurors as well as lawyers, how to embrace bad facts in mini-openings, and why addressing juror biases head-on creates powerful courtroom themes.
