For the New York Trump “hush money” case, the trial judge – the Honorable Juan M. Merchan, Judge of the Supreme Court of the State of New York – on April 8, 2024 provided counsel for both parties with a letter in which he laid out matters relating to jury selection that was scheduled to begin on April 15, 2024. Judge Merchan’s letter and attachments provide not only insight into how jury selection would be conducted in the People v. Trump case but also examples of subjects covered in Jury Selection Handbook. Judge Merchan’s materials can be helpful in understanding, preparing and conducting jury selection.
The following are topics covered in Judge Mechan’s letter and attachment with references to pages in Jury Selection Handbook where you can read discussion of the topics and find other examples of the subjects under discussion. For example, Judge Merchan provides the People v. Trump juror questionnaire.
