Voir Dire
Gerry Spence on Voir Dire: "Preparing the Decision Makers to Embrace Us--Voir Dire," in Gerry Spence, Win Your Case 112-126 (New York: St. Martin's Press, 2005)
"The voir dire has a profoundly deeper purpose
than to exclude those who are immutably biased against us. In subtle
ways we want to open up the juror to new ideas, to open him to our position
in the trial, and to be open to his." [Spence,
Win Your Case, at 113]
