What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? SC
We filed a complaint in the Summary Court (small claims) and the defendant requested a Jury Trial.
The Court Clerk said that she will schedule a phone conference where the defendant and plaintiff will pick the jury. Each party will be given a list of 50 names (ahead of time) with age, sex and race. Out of the 50 names called at random we will pick 6 Jurors and 9 alternates. Each party has the right to strike a certain amount. Then we will set a date for the trial.
We will have the list of names before the conference but still how do you prepare? Is there a strategy? Has anyone had any experience with this type of jury selection?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
