Trial Lawyers React: The Devil's Advocate

In one of Keanu Reeves' most remembered performances, he plays a trial attorney with a special gift. Real-world trial attorney Bill Colarulo breaks down an important scene from the film in this Trial Lawyers React.

The Devil's Advocate is a 1997 horror film starring Al Pacino, Charlize Theron, and Keanu Reeves. Based on a novel written by Andrew Neiderman and containing many allusions to John Milton's Paradise Lost, the film follows a lawyer played by Reeves as he slowly realizes that his boss is the Devil.

The scene shown in this video depicts part of the jury selection process. After potential jurors have been summoned, the judge and the attorneys question them in a process called voir dire. The purpose of this final step of jury selection is to ensure that any people who wouldn't be able to judge the case fairly are excluded from the jury. The attorneys are given a certain number of people, the exact number decided by the judge, to exclude. The attorneys are not required to provide a reason for their choices.
