  • Rahul Ravipudi – Pick One Voir Dire Philosophy and Commit

    Rahul Ravipudi – Pick One Voir Dire Philosophy and Commit
    Nov 17 2025
    “You've gotten just tons of jurors off for cause, but you do it in the most polite way,” host Harry Plotkin says of longtime friend Rahul Ravipudi, who stops by “Picking Justice” to share his philosophy of voir dire that has helped him secure eight- and nine-figure verdicts. As Rahul explains to Harry and co-host Dan Kramer, his core philosophy is to stick with one voir dire approach. His is identifying juror biases and guiding biased jurors to excuse themselves for cause “or at least allow me to get the cause challenge established.” Tune in for Rahul’s insights about breaking the ice, handling jurors with misunderstandings about case facts, and determining when to announce damages numbers during mini-openings.Learn More and Connect☑️ Rahul Ravipudi | LinkedIn | Instagram☑️ Panish Shea Ravipudi LLP | LinkedIn | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram☑️ Harry Plotkin | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram☑️ Dan Kramer | LinkedIn ☑️ Kramer Trial Lawyers on LinkedIn | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram☑️ Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeProduced and Powered by LawPodsEpisode sponsored by Baldwin Settlements and
