From the supplier: Complex trials can last many months and jury selection for such a proceeding is a difficult art which is learned through much practice. Jury selection is based on the attorney's instincts and experience and the primary responsibility rests with the attorney, not a jury consultant. At voir dire the attorney must obtain from each potential juror a verbal commitment to read and understand the documents produced in evidence as well as assessing each potential juror's willingness to award damages. State laws differ on the scope of voir dire and attorneys should always examine to the fullest extent allowed. As many alternate jurors as possible should be selected.
