CRJ 306 week 2 discussion 2

If your last name begins with the letters A through M: Prepare a two- to three-minute video presentation with YouSeeU detailing the following information:
- Explain the legal term voir dire, its origins and its purposes.
- Detail the process of voir dire, and distinguish between preemptory and discretionary strikes of potential jury members.
- Provide an opinion of whether or not the process of voir dire serves its stated ends.
- Create improvements in the current system of voir dire to ensure fair and impartial jurors for criminal trials.

As you know from the reading and video materials for this week, the term voir dire literally means truth. Your YouSeeU presentation must show a comprehensive understanding of the process of voir dire and its significance in a criminal trial. Make sure that your video presentation explains whether or not a defendant is entitled to a “fair” or a perfect jury. You also need to distinguish between preemptory strikes of jurors vs. strikes for cause of potential jurors.
