Picking Justice

Gary Dordick – Bias Isn’t Bad; Not Finding It in Jurors Is


Listen Later

Gary Dordick wanted to know why the sole juror voted against him, so he asked her after trial. Turns out, he reminded her of her ex-husband, so she didn’t believe a word he said.

“Okay, but, Ma’am, why didn't you tell me that when we were picking the jury?” Gary wondered.  “Oh,” she responded, “you never asked.”

Gary tells this cautionary tale to hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer in an episode devoted to jury selection tips and lessons gained through his winning career. The founder of Dordick Law Corporation, Gary shares stories from the courtroom, such as his early tendency to entertain prospective jurors at the expense of learning about them. Tune in for his insights about using questionnaires and leveraging nuanced questions to reveal bias.
