Questions

1. Many people argue that life and lawsuits have become too complex for the average juror. Do you think there are certain types of lawsuits where the jury should be composed only of experts in that field? Should jury trials be eliminated entirely in some areas of the law?

2. Jury experts work under the theory that certain types of people will be likely to favor one side over the other. For example, in a medical malpractice case one person may lean toward the doctor, while others will favor the patient. Can you think of any groups that you could characterize in this way? Do you think this is a valid approach to choosing a jury? Even if valid, should it be used? Discuss your opinions.
