What are the best practices for selecting a jury in a Rhode Island personal injury<\/a> trial? When our lawyers go to state court, it is important to know the law in impaneling a jury. Here are five practice pointers:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Know Rhode Island Laws: 9-10-11 et. seq.<\/strong>
    \nThis is where you will find the law on such issues as the number of jurors, (six, with in practice two alternates), examining prospective jurors, peremptory challenges, and the like.<\/li>\n
  2. Standard for Challenge<\/strong>
    \nRI General Law \u00a79-10-14 allows our personal injury lawyers to challenge a biased prospective juror defined as, \u201cOne who does not stand indifferent in the cause.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Identify\u00a0With Your Juror Pool<\/strong>
    \nGetting your juror pool to talk is a challenge that is important to pursue. In Rhode Island, our practice is to allow personal injury lawyers to ask questions in open court. One idea is to use analogies and examples to engender conversation.<\/li>\n
  4. Know Your Judge: Be Rhode Island!<\/strong>
    \nAs the smallest state in size, us Rhode Island lawyers are particular! Beware if you are thinking of hiring an out-of-state lawyer. There are times when a Boston or other big city lawyer has fallen flat in Rhode Island courts. Being a part of the \u201cLittle Rhody\u201d tribe is a benefit.<\/li>\n
  5. Think Jury \u201cDe-Selection\u201d During Rhode Island Voir Dire<\/strong>
    \nGetting to know potential jurors is perhaps the most important aspect of a Rhode Island personal injury case. Attorneys in Providence Superior Court know that finding those people who cannot be impartial is crucial. Our lawyers use their peremptory challenges to weed out potentially biased jurors so our clients have a fair shot at justice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
