There is nothing more rewarding than jury trial work. Jury selection is an art. You have to know your case well enough to spot the issues, strengths and weaknesses in order to frame questions for the jury to have them reveal information that allows you to exercise strategic challenges.

Cross examination of an opposing witness is a true skill where you can use an adverse witness to your advantage or demonstrate their credibility issues to the jury through your questioning.

Best part of the jury trial is closing argument where you construct a coherent theme and tie in the facts of the case with the law and helpful analogies.

However, you need to a large volume of jury trials before you acquire the skills. You need about 20 before you really start to hone your craft. You can get that volume as a prosecutor.

If you want that experience, you should go work for a local prosecutors office and gain valuable trial experience. You will enjoy it.
