Jury Selection

Jury Selection (litigation) is a courtroom workspace for voir dire — managing the venire, capturing impressions, planning strikes with defensible rationale, and arranging the panel. It's a full‑screen surface built for use during jury selection.

Jury Selection is a litigation‑mode feature.

Building the panel

• Enter jurors individually, or bulk‑import a venire from a CSV.
• Open a juror detail view to record what you know and learn about each prospective juror.
• An audit log records the actions taken during selection.

Capturing voir dire

For each juror you can capture impressions during questioning — including by voice at the counsel table — and record attitudes and experiences relevant to your case. The detail view is where your read on each juror lives.

Planning strikes

Jury Selection helps you plan and track strikes:

• For‑cause and peremptory strikes are tracked per juror.
• Peremptory strikes prompt you to record a neutral rationale (an attitude/experience basis) so the strike is defensible — supporting a Batson‑type challenge record.
• The workspace helps you keep your strike plan organized as selection proceeds.

Seating the panel

A seating chart lets you arrange jurors into the box (drag and drop) so you can see the panel as it forms and plan around your remaining strikes.

During live selection

Because selection is fast and high‑stakes, the workspace is designed to stay out of your way — full‑screen, quick entry, and guards so that an in‑progress voice capture isn't lost to an accidental navigation.

Tips

• Import the venire by CSV ahead of time so you're entering impressions, not names, in the courtroom.
• Record a concrete, case‑relevant rationale for every peremptory strike as you make it — reconstructing it later is harder and less defensible.
• Use the seating chart to keep the forming panel and your remaining strikes in view.
