Problems With Judge Voir Dire

 Posted on May 13, 2008 in Uncategorized

Notes I wrote during a federal judge's voir dire a few months ago:

A judge's voir dire is calculated to get jurors to promise to follow the law while a lawyer's voir dire is calculated to find those who might have difficulty following the law.

A judge's voir dire is calculated to get jurors to agree with the judge while a lawyer's voir dire is calculated to find those who disagree.

A judge's voir dire is calculated to qualify more jurors while a lawyer's voir dire is calculated to find those who are not qualified.
