Taking in an informal survey—who’s tried cases in the last year and in what jurisdiction? Curious about how it went with Covid lurking in the background.

Had a federal trial late 2020. Witnesses could take off masks when testifying, and the attorneys examining and objecting could remove their masks. Electronic exhibits and and Elmo were projected on three screens that were shown to the jury who were dispersed in the jury box and the gallery. Limited seating for observers/additional counsel. Plexiglass separated every person seated near the bench. Got a large P verdict, so I don’t think covid effected the result.

Which state?

EDMO

Florida, sexual battery jury trial in Union County, went smoothly but because jurors were free to opt out due to covid 19 you end up with a skewed younger panel also a group of people who actually want to be on your jury. Wanting to be on your jury is a wildcard. Not necessarily beneficial to either side.

I hear you. Younger jury pool not the best either for plaintiffs. Were you happy with results?

I know this is unrelated to the post but I'm a new Plaintiff's trial attorney with zero experience in jury selection. Why are younger panels usually not good for Plaintiffs?
