CJI-Civ. 1:3
Remarks to Jury Panel on Voir Dire
(After the jury panel has been sworn and the initial panel has been seated in the jury box,
the following remarks are recommended.)
The attorneys and (the Court) (I) want(s) an impartial jury to decide this case. (The
Court) (I) will be asking questions to find out whether any (prospective) juror knows any of
the parties, witnesses or court personnel, whether he or she has any knowledge or personal
interest in the outcome of the case or whether he or she has any bias or prejudice which
might wrongfully influence the juror. No question is intended to pry into your personal
affairs. If you are not chosen, it is not a reflection on your character nor does it mean that
the attorney has anything personally against you. If you know or at any time during
questioning you become aware of anything which might prevent you from being completely
impartial to both sides, or might otherwise prevent you from serving as a juror, you should
immediately raise your hand.
(The Court should proceed with voir dire examination.)
