Karen Jo Koonan, an expert on jury selection, will speak as part of the William D. Griffith Series Tuesday, Sept. 18, at 1:20 p.m. in the University of Wyoming Education Building auditorium.

Koonan has consulted on several high profile cases, such as “The State of Colorado v. Kobe Bryant.” A trial consultant with NJP/West since 1987, she has worked on more than 1,500 cases and is widely regarded for her expertise in civil rights, employment, personal injury and criminal defense.
