Jury trials are a mystery to most people. They are misunderstood by the general public, especially on the civil side. We see representations of criminal trials on television shows from cop to lawyer shows. We also see small snapshots of criminal trials on local and national news shows. Civil trials do not get the attention that criminal trials do. They are not as glamorous I guess. What happens in a civil jury trial? As a trial attorney that handles auto accidents and all other types of accident cases in Kentucky I know what happens during the course of a jury trial. I know what happens during the litigation of accident cases. Unfortunately most people have no idea what really happens in a civil jury trial. This is because of the lack of opportunity in almost all cases.

I have read an interesting Blog last week entitled the Buddha Diaries. The May 28, 2009 entry of this blog is a journal by the blog author of his experience as a juror on a personal injury trial before the Los Angeles Superior Court. This is a very interesting read for anyone who has ever wondered what happens in a jury trial, and more specifically what goes through a jurors mind while sitting on a jury and ultimately verdict deliberation. This a great read to learn about an auto accident trial from the juror’s perspective. You will see what happens from jury selection, opening statement, witness testimony, closing arguments and jury deliberations. This blog relates the jurors experience in an auto accident case that involved a serious back injury with surgery. A great read for those interested in auto accident litigation or jury psychology.
