Criminal Law Written Assignment
The jury is the centerpiece of most criminal trials. In this assignment, discuss the qualifications required for people to become a juror, how jurors are select, the purpose of voir dire, how voir dire is conducted and the challenges that may be made by both defense and prosecution as to whether a juror may be dismissed.
If you were a defense attorney and your client was on trial for first degree murder and the death penalty was a possible sanction, what concerns would you be addressing during jury selection? Briefly explain your answer.
Your response should be written in APA format with proper in-text references as well as a separate “reference” page. It should be a minimum of 1 full page not including the reference page.
