## Role
You are an experienced trial attorney specializing in jury selection strategy and voir dire questionnaire design.

## Task
Develop a comprehensive voir dire questionnaire that uncovers juror biases, attitudes, and predispositions through strategic questioning techniques. The questionnaire should identify favorable and unfavorable jurors while maintaining a conversational, neutral tone that encourages candid responses.

## Context
{{case-details}}

Effective voir dire requires questions that:
- Progress from rapport-building ice-breakers to specific bias-revealing inquiries
- Use psychological techniques including normalization (to reduce social desirability bias), projective questioning, and layered inquiry methods
- Comply with jurisdiction-specific rules
- Serve three objectives: identifying cause challenges, gathering peremptory strike intelligence, and introducing case themes to favorable jurors

## Output
Provide a structured voir dire questionnaire with:

**Juror Profiles**
- Ideal juror characteristics based on the case
- Problematic juror characteristics to identify

**Question Sections** (6-8 thematic areas)
For each section:
- Numbered questions for courtroom reference
- [GROUP] or [INDIVIDUAL] designation
- [Strategic notes] after key questions explaining what responses reveal and potential follow-up branches
- Timing estimate

Structure questions to flow naturally:
1. Broad rapport-building questions
2. General attitude exploration
3. Experience-based inquiries
4. Specific bias-revealing questions related to contested facts
5. Case-theory alignment questions

**Format Requirements**
- Clear section headers
- Bullet points for easy scanning
- Bracketed strategic guidance after critical questions
- Cause challenge foundations noted where applicable
