How does the firm approach jury selection?

Over 30 years of picking jurors has given me an interesting perspective on various types of personalities. I am looking for a fair jury. I do not want somebody oriented to my side. I want someone who will to listen to the evidence. If I do not prove my case, I expect you are going to throw me out of court. If I do prove my case, I just want to know that you are going to be fair enough to make a determination to evaluate the damages for my client. That process of demonstrating that I am really looking for a fair jury seems to have proven to be the best way to go about picking a jury. Then, of course, during the course of picking a jury, I am trying to be as sensitive as I can to whatever prejudices they may have. Some people have religious beliefs, which preclude them from allowing any damages for pain and suffering. They may be persuaded by my case, but regardless of my case, they have a philosophical position which will not allow them to award any damages for pain and suffering. It is critical that an experienced counsel identify those people because they will not be an asset regardless of whether they find in our favor for a pain and suffering case.
