Tip Concerning Trying Cases Away From Home

Posted on January 20, 2010 by John Day

Trial Lawyer Tips has a great post about steps to take to before picking a jury in another city, county, or state.

An excerpt:

To get familiar with my out of town trial venues, I used to order the local paper several months before trial and read it each day or week. By the time trial rolled around, I knew more about the local news than most of the jurors.

I started using this technique a little over 20 years ago and firmly believe that there is a distinct advantage of going into a "new" venue with some knowledge of community happenings.   The Internet has made it easier to get this sort of information.
