Judge the Jury: Experience the Power of Reading People

This book covers an interesting array of techniques including reading body language, personality typing, birth order, and similar characteristics which influence jury member prejudices.  A claim, which the author’s support, is 80% of the trial outcome is determined by the jury selection.  Accused of a crime?  Managers, secretaries, and teachers are the kinds of people you don’t want on your jury then.  Filed a suit against the government?  You want the unemployed on the jury, and engineers off the jury!  It is by no means a professional’s handbook – the target audience is the layperson.  So to me there wasn’t as much detail as I would have liked.
