## Resource

Picture your voir dire happening in a private room where it’s just you and the potential juror. It’s called “individual sequestered voir dire,” it’s guaranteed in Connecticut’s constitution, and it’s an approach that Kathleen Nastri has mastered – as evidenced by her $58 million med-mal verdict, a state record. It can be exhausting, she admits. It can be like speed dating. But it reflects the importance that the state places on the right to a trial with a fair jury. In this conversation with hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer , Kathleen shares her strategies for breaking the ice with different jurors, her perceptions of female jurors in obstetrics cases, and her concerns about people who seem too eager to serve.
