(1) After the jury panel for a particular case is drawn, a list of the persons on such panel

and their completed juror questionnaire shall be handed to each attorney, or the party if

unrepresented, involved in the case, and the Court shall inform the jurors of the names and

addresses of each of the parties, the nature of the suit, the names of the intended witnesses,

and the names of the attorneys and their associates.

(2) Examination of potential jurors shall be conducted by the Court, or its designee. The

Court may permit counsel to supplement the Court’s examination by such further inquiry

as it deems appropriate.

unrepresented, shall not have possession, or otherwise maintain a copy in any form, of the

written questionnaire after the conclusion of voir dire.

(4) The voir dire examination of jurors shall be recorded but not transcribed, unless

otherwise ordered by the Court.
