Tailored questions can address jurors involvement in gender equality advocacy, beliefs about retaliation for discrimination complaints, and understanding of Title IXs role in education. These questions help identify jurors who may have preconceived notions or experiences that could impact their impartiality in evaluating claims of breach of contract and retaliation.
