The process of jury selection is an important and

the bounds of voir dire practice in state and federal
courts and addresses variations in jury size and
unanimity requirements between state and federal courts.
Statutory and case law discussion will focus on the
nature and number of preemptory strikes and important
narrow issues such as utilization of race as a factor in
the jury selection process. Appellate review of jury
bias, jury misconduct, and the like will also be a focus
of the course.
