About the Author<br />

Amy F. Miller was the seventh fellow at the Keenan Law Firm. She is a Sea8le na9ve, who was<br />

ready to take on new challenges and mentorship when she applied in 2018 to the fellowship<br />

program to be mentored by Don Keenan himself.<br />

She spent 14 months learning and working in Seaside alongside Mr. Keenan and his tribe of<br />

fellow lawyers with cases all across the country. Cases stemming from medical malprac9ce,<br />

premise liability, product defect, and all involving catastrophic injuries or death.<br />

How this book came about, was that nearly every week during her fellowship, Ms. Miller and<br />

the firm ran focus groups. They would put in a lot of work to prepare for each day, strategizing<br />

every case and what informa9on would be needed from the group that week. At the onset of<br />

each focus group, Mr. Keenan would do a voir dire with the group before presen9ng the cases<br />

for the day. This is the research and development, where Ms. Miller got to see him test out,<br />

tweak and improve voir dire ques9ons real 9me as well as every different type of focus group<br />

you will read about in this book. With this experience came Mr. Keenan’s confidence she could<br />

take what she learned and provide it to you in this second installment of the KLF focus group<br />

manual.
