Chilly,
You're right about lawyers learning all about jury selection but it is a very fine science in selecting a jury.  I've read many books and seen documentaries which were quite fascinating in regards to juror selection.  I was amazed at reasons for keeping or dismissing someone.  It was very interesting. 

Just my 2 cents.. butting out now. Smiley

chilly and bradwill......when working with companies that are about to do layoffs I DO suggest they give some sort of 1.  severance and 2. job counseling.  But, I would say less than 10% will do that.  Trust me, companies (generally) do a terrible job laying off people.  My own organization does it in a more humane way.  But, yes, bottom line I am a hired "hacket man."

gabby.....That is correct.  I can highly improve a client's chance of a favorable verdict through a psychological-profile work up of the jury pool.

You are correct.  (Aye, too much drinkin' on NFL Sunday!)  It should be HATCHET!

I know it seems to have a cruel element to it, but.....keep in mind these people are going to be fired anyhow.  Do you want me or some cold hearted, untrained, middle/upper management person swinging the hatchet?

Oh, I don't think it's cruel.  But, if the employee decides to sue for some bad employment practices related to the firing, would you be in danger of litigation?

Chilly........Ha!  Keep in mind MOST states are NOT "right to work" states. As long as there is not systemic discrimination, then employees can fire at will. 

Plus, the company has already decided to fire, based on their own need analysis.  So, the liability is on them......BUT....I do have an attorney on retainer who checks things out in that way.  Better safe than sorry! Smiley

Feelin'.....thanks for the well-wishes.  I hope Santa is good to ya!

Well, TX is an at will state so I am very familiar with that.  Still, there are thousands of lawsuits surrounding the practices leading up to and including the firing.  There are still rules the company has to follow, like, they should have returned my property to me.  Like, hinky calculation of FMLA.  Like, refusing to honor a disability claim for accomodations.  Like not providing COBRA information in a timely manner.  Like not depositing retirement money in the employees account.  Etc...
I was just hoping you wouldn't get caught up in litigation when the company has been ...here we go again... HINKY.
