ALTON - Alton-based attorney Keith Short has some insights on how to select a jury. Short, who works with Keith Short & Associates, P.C., recently shared more about his jury selection process and the ins and outs of connecting with jurors.

In order to help his clients receive the results they want, it’s important to select a jury that will be fair and engaged.
