Jury selection, also known as voir dire, is the process by which potential jurors are questioned to determine their suitability to serve on a jury. The goal of jury selection is to select a jury that is fair and impartial, and that represents a cross-section of the community.
There are a number of factors that can be considered when selecting a jury, including the juror’s age, race, gender, education, and occupation. Attorneys may also question potential jurors about their knowledge of the case, their opinions on the issues involved, and their ability to be fair and impartial.
