Most people called for jury duty never make it to the jury box. They’re filtered out through lotteries, but if you’re curious about how it all works behind-the-scenes – there’s an opportunity Saturday in Laramie. That’s the day of the annual University of Wyoming College of Law voir dire competition. Marcia Shanor with the Wyoming Trial Lawyers Association says students will learn how to select ideal juries – something that isn’t “taught” in law school.
The Wyoming Trial Lawyers Association is sponsoring the event, which is also a competition among students. Those who volunteer to be jurors are treated to lunch and snacks, and they get to play the role of “judge” in scoring law students’ performances.
Shanor says the students will practice how to screen jurors for both criminal and civil trials.
Those interested in volunteering can register at 307-635-0820.
