For the non-attorney readers… the term “voir dire” refers to the jury selection process of questioning prospective jurors. I am sure that you have seen movies or TV shows where the attorney is weeding out potential jurors by asking them questions regarding their prior relationships, family members, potential biases, etc.. Traditionally both the plaintiff and defendant(s) have to submit their “proposed” voir dire plan to the court for approval.

Have you ever wondered what an attorney would ask you if you were a potential juror for a golf ball patent infringement trial? Click HERE to check out Callaway’s proposed voir dire; and click HERE to check out Acushnet’s proposed voir dire.

I bet most golfers wouldn’t mind jury duty if they could sit on this jury.
