    <description>Jury selection decides more cases than most lawyers admit. Each week, trial attorney David R. Drwencke breaks down the science, strategy, and technique of picking a jury — voir dire questioning, juror bias research, Batson and the law governing strikes, and the tools changing how selection gets done. Short, practical episodes for litigators on both sides of the aisle.

        <![CDATA[This week on The Strike List: reptile theory's afterlife in voir dire, and the distinctive jury-selection problem in federal white-collar cases.

The Reptile Theory in Voir Dire: Does It Still Work? — The triune-brain science behind reptile theory has been rejected, but safety-framing tactics still shape juror attitudes because they exploit documented cognitive biases rather than primitive brain structures — https://www.strikelistai.com/blog/the-reptile-theory-in-voir-dire-does-it-still-work/

White-Collar Crime Juries: Selection Challenges for Federal Prosecutors — Financial sophistication cuts both ways, peremptories are capped at ten per side under Rule 24(b) while cause challenges are not, and Batson discipline matters most where demographic assumptions are most tempting — https://www.strikelistai.com/blog/white-collar-crime-juries-selection-challenges-for-federal-prosecutors/

This podcast discusses jury selection and voir dire technique for a professional audience. It is not legal advice, and listening does not create an attorney-client relationship. Strategy, strike decisions, and the law applicable to any particular case remain the responsibility of the attorney or litigant handling that matter.]]>
