Summary

In this session, Jon breaks down the Marko Method for time-limited voir dire—how to open fast with genuine connection, surface case-specific bias in minutes, and convert those admissions into clean, for-cause challenges while preserving credibility with the bench. Using working examples from real cases, he’ll cover ground rules for tight timeboxes, a four-step questioning framework, targeted bias themes that reliably differentiate decision-makers, and practical “inoculation” tactics that protect favorable jurors from predictable judicial and defense pushback. Attendees leave with a plug-and-play sequence and question sets they can adapt to any civil trial.
