About This Course

Many factors determine the outcome of a trial, but none so much as the jury. Jury selection, or voir dire, can make the difference between success and failure no matter the case. How do you determine what type of people to select? This CLE course will go through each aspect of jury selection to help you determine the process and strategy for an effective jury selection. Communication with prospective jurors, selection process and the relevant legal issues will all be discussed.

Mr. Rabah was also a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Academic Honor Society and the Golden Key National Honor Society. He graduated magna cum laude.

After college, Mr. Rabah attended Brooklyn Law School. There, he earned distinction and merit by being one of only a handful of students accepted into both the prestigious Brooklyn Law Review and the Moot Court Honor Society. As a member of the Brooklyn Law Review, Mr. Rabah served as a Staff Editor and Articles Editor. Mr. Rabah further distinguished himself in the Moot Court Honor Society by winning first place in the Domenick L. Gabrielli Moot Court Competition in Albany Law School.
