That unfortunately applies to other areas as well, like critical thinkers.
It makes me curious-- suppose the judge asks a potential juror if there is any reason they cannot remain impartial. What happens if that potential juror responds yes, pointing out that the plantiff's lawyer had clearly been systematically dismissing the independent thinkers from the jury for the past four hours?
- saghm 7y agoMostly likely, that person won't be picked for jury then. That being said, when I served on a jury for a lawsuit earlier this year, we were informed about whether we were selected outside of the room where the remaining potential jurors were still sitting, meaning the people still in the room had no idea which of us were picked, since from their perspective, we would leave either way. Interestingly, there also wasn't a judge present for this selection, only the lawyers; apparently in my jurisdiction (New York City), judges are only present for the selection of jurors for criminal trials, not civil.
