Shownotes

Picture your voir dire happening in a private room where it’s just you and the potential juror. It’s called “individual sequestered voir dire,” it’s guaranteed in Connecticut’s constitution, and it’s an approach that Kathleen Nastri has mastered – as evidenced by her $58 million med-mal verdict, a state record. It can be exhausting, she admits. It can be like speed dating. But it reflects the importance that the state places on the right to a trial with a fair jury. In this conversation with hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer, Kathleen shares her strategies for breaking the ice with different jurors, her perceptions of female jurors in obstetrics cases, and her concerns about people who seem too eager to serve.
