Date: April 16th, 2024 10:17 PM Author: floppy stubborn hell stain For plaintiffs, lawyers on juries are either FANTASTIC or terrible little shits. You don’t always know which they will be. When I tried a case in my law school town, lawyers on my panel were uniformly sending out a strong shithead status-quo classist vibe so I struck them all.

Which is strange because this advice was specifically given to me in contexts where it was clear that it was a categorical statement that applies to both sides, which you wouldn't really think would *ever* be the case. (Most 'categorically bad' jurors are bad for one side or the other, not both.) |

I've never been in a situation where I've actually had to decide whether to strike a lawyer or not.
The most common answer I've heard is that the remainder of the jury will just defer to whatever the lawyer says. But, a, I'm not sure that's true and, b, if it is true than it's probably true in every case and they're just as likely to latch on to what some vocal plumber or confident HR lady says and go with her. |

|
Date: April 17th, 2024 8:51 AM Author: Beta parlor the CW is that all the other jurors will defer to the lawyer(s), who are typically vocal, pretentious about being lawyers, and use jargon.
So you have reduced your jury from 12 to 1. Now the entire case rides on one person's determination, and that person is vastly more likely to be more technical, niggling, rule-obsessed, status-obsessed, and intelligence-signaling than the average person.
They could cut to either side, but the CW fear is that you've just placed the entire verdict in the hands of an asshole |
|
Date: April 17th, 2024 11:55 AM Author: pearl faggotry hospital I think it depends on the legal issues involved.
