- {{juror_criteria}}: Specific criteria for juror background analysis (e.g., occupation, prior litigation history, social media presence).
- {{case_topics}}: Key topics or issues in the case that may trigger biases (e.g., insurance, medical malpractice, corporate liability).

Instructions
- If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
- Analyze the provided juror criteria and case details to identify potential bias indicators, such as demographic factors, personal experiences, or affiliations.
- Generate a report that highlights each potential bias, explains its relevance to the case, and suggests follow-up questions to probe during voir dire.
- Create a set of tailored questionnaires covering the case topics, designed to uncover hidden biases or conflicts of interest.
- If juror responses are provided, generate follow-up questions based on their answers to clarify any red flags.
Output format
