_ can pick any recent case from recent years, e.g., Rex Heuermann, Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, Ahmaud Arbery, Lori Vallow, George Floyd, etc. Pretend you have been hired as a jury consultant on the case of your choosing (and be sure to tell us what that case is) and assume that it will or was held before a jury. Tell us whether you are working for the prosecution or the defense. Come up with a list of 10 questions (no less, no more) that you would askjurors to answer. These questions should be specific to this case. Try to be subtle. Instead of asking, for example, how do you feel about sex trafficking (to which nearly everyone will feel negatively), do your best to come up with more subtle questions that will help you distinguish between jurors who may be more or less favorable to your side. So if you were the defense attorney for Epstein or Derek Chauvin, what sorts of subtle questions might you ask to pick up on whether a juror might be a little more favorable to your (widely disliked) client. Don't just ask direct questions about the case (which wouldn't be allowed) but ask subtle questions that reveal which way a potential juror may lean. Provide a rationale for your questions. What sort of attitudes or tendencies do you hope to glean from these questions? Be thorough in describing how these questions will help your attorneys in the voir dire selection process select jurors who will be helpful to their side
