This new and expanded edition by one of the nation’s most experienced trial consultants goes beyond other books on jury selection and focuses on the skills needed to conduct effective voir dire and jury selection, ultimately improving your chances of a favorable verdict at trial.  This valuable guide will help you understand effective voir dire and jury selection strategies and adapt them to the unique circumstances you face in your trial jurisdiction.  This new edition updates and expands discussions of developing voir dire questions, good questioning techniques and skills, reading jurors’ nonverbal behavior, successfully overcoming common problems encountered during voir dire, the use of juror questionnaires, and overall jury selection strategies.  The appendices containing samples of important voir dire questions in criminal and civil cases are expanded.  Also new is a user-friendly CD-Rom containing more than 70 juror questionnaires from criminal and civil trials.  These questionnaires come from such criminal trials as Colorado v. Kobe Bryant, California v. Scott Peterson, Connecticut v. Michael Skakel, United States v. Timothy McVeigh, and United States v. Arthur Andersen, among others, and from civil trials including In re Exxon Valdez, In re Visa Check/Mastermoney Antitrust Litigation, International Paper Co. v. Affiliate FM Insurance Cos., and Mildred Valentine v. Dow Corning Corporation et al, among others.  Each juror questionnaire on the completely searchable CD-Rom is linked to the table of contents for easy reference and accessibility.
