Well I don't want to give too much away but I would bet you $1,000 dollars that you know who he is and I don't even know what state you live in. He is particular liked and adored in the state.
The issue is more complicated than a breach of contract, There is no question that the contact is...
Maybe you can explain your comments? I never claimed to be some law guru, a lawyer or anything close, so why would you state the obvious that someone asking for legal help on the internet is not an expert on the law? That kind of goes without saying right?
To explain the case in detail would...
Yes but if I remember correctly you have a limited number of people you are able to eliminate.
If you asked the prospective jurors if they know the person involved in the lawsuit and have an opinion on his honesty, I would say that 100% of the people would already know him from his celebrity...
There are no exceptions to this rule? Even if you were suing Donald Trump in a pro-trump area and every person in the jury pool know Donald Trump and said that facts be damned, they will find in his favor no matter what you say.

Well for starters, the amount is too large to be in small claims court. The question is if I would want a Judge or jury to decide and if there is anyway to force a judge trial since it deals with complex business matter with a person the jury is likely to know and love?
Issue is between citizens of different states if the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000 (under diversity jurisdiction) is my justification.
Everyone in the county would know him but he is especially a hometown hero in the state. I'm not sure I can get a fair trial if there is a jury that...
State is Utah but lawsuit is in federal court.
I am a landlord suing a home town Hero over a contract dispute.
I am wondering should I ask for a judge/bench trial vs Jury trial?
