Confidential(c) to slaggo, RSE, McCarthy and any other lawyers

PS

You assume my statement that experts would likely be perceived as biased one way or the other means lawyers want stupid people who they can fool.

No ... it means they don't want a biased person on the jury.

Now go hire a lawyer who picks jurors he/she thinks are biased against his/her case.

Obviously you don't want someone biased against your client/case. I'm not talking about picking the union boss when you represent management in a collective bargaining dispute.

My question was do you pick jurors that won't try to apply their own prior knowledge to make a determination but rather that have a blank slate so to speak. Just generally, how much does a juror's prior (known) expertise relative to the topic at hand matter? Maybe not at all outside of clear bias against you.

There are times a lawyer would want an expert in a particular relevant field on the jury, but a good lawyer never stops considering bias.

This is not a simple process but that's the best answer I can give you in short.

You are being trolled. You need to stop.
