Jury Selection Cheat Sheet for Civil Trials

Assume the role of trial counsel preparing voir dire materials for [CLIENT_NAME]'s [TYPE] case in [COUNTY] court. Develop a comprehensive jury selection worksheet containing: 1) Five ideal juror demographic/professional traits (e.g., "small business owner" or "parent of college-aged children") with rationale tied to case themes, 2) Three automatic strike criteria (such as "employed by [INDUSTRY]" or "prior litigation experience"), 3) A bank of 10 neutrally phrased voir dire questions addressing bias without leading, 4) A peremptory challenge tracking grid with space for 12 jurors + 4 alternates. Incorporate local practice notes (e.g., "Judge [JUDGE] disfavors hypothetical questions"). Format as a 2-page landscape-oriented table with these sections: Ideal Profile, Strike Triggers, Question Bank, Challenge Tracker. Include "Work Product - Do Not File" footer and space for real-time notes during selection.
