Event Details
The juror selection process is a pivotal piece in the successful prosecution of a case, and as we've seen before, the facts and evidence presented during a trial do not always matter when it comes to the value, belief, and perspective of the jurors. Join us for this NEW training and learn the best strategies when selecting from the jury pool to ensure a fair and impartial jury for your case.
Topics covered in this training include:
- Basics of Georgia Laws
- Theme Based Jury Selection
- Exploring Cultural Biases
- Rehabilitation
- Demos
This course is approved for up to 5.5 CLE Credit hours. No other type of credit is available. Registration starts at 8:30am with the first topic beginning at 9:00am. The day will conclude at 4:00pm. The Jury Selection One-Day Training is the start to several one-days trainings on various trial skill topics needed for the courtroom. Other one-day trainings to look forward to in the coming months include Opening and Closing Statements, Cross Examination, Direct Examination, and Total Trial Concepts.
