 Voir Dire
Gerry Spence on Voir Dire: "Preparing the Decision Makers to Embrace Us--Voir Dire," in Gerry Spence, Win Your Case 112-126 (New York: St. Martin's Press, 2005)
 "The voir dire has a profoundly deeper purpose than to excluse those who are immutably biased against us. In subtle ways we want to open up the juror to new ideas, to open him to our position in the trial, and to be open to his." [Spence, Win Your Case, at 113]
