Few people have more experience with jury selection than Harry and Claire Plotnick. Over the past 20 years, their expertise in picking the right jury has helped attorneys recover over $2 Billion in over 800 trials. The California-based husband and wife team turn to values, beliefs, and expectations to help craft the ideal jury. They help attorneys focus on the most important aspect - creating a bond with each juror.  We discuss why jurors make value-based decisions - and what to do about it. And the best open-ended questions to ask a potential juror, the right way to uncover their true feelings, and what to avoid. We cover jury selection myths and what chess has to do with jury selection.Key takeaways:
Don't judge a book by it's cover. Demographics do not tell a complete story. To understand the feelings of a juror, ask open-ended questions and accept what they have to say. 
Be willing to listen. When asking questions, be willing to talk as little as possible. Aim for listening 90% of the time. 
Get comfortable with tech in the courtroom.  Younger jurors expect evidence presented quickly and, often, with visual components. If something negative happens, they expect there to be video evidence of the incident.
