Communications with Trial Jurors
(a) Before or During Trial. Absent an order of the Court and except in the
course of in-court proceedings, no one shall directly or indirectly communicate with or
cause another to communicate with a juror, prospective juror, or member of such juror's
or prospective juror's family before or during a trial.
(b) After Trial. Interviews with jurors after trial by or on behalf of parties
involved in the trial are prohibited except on condition that the attorney or party involved
desiring such an interview file with the Court written interrogatories proposed to be
submitted to the juror(s), together with an affidavit setting forth the reasons for such
proposed interrogatories, within the time granted for a motion for a new trial. Approval
for the interview of jurors in accordance with the interrogatories and affidavit so filed
will be granted only upon the showing of good cause. See Federal Rules of Evidence,
Rule 606(b). Following the interview, a second affidavit must be filed indicating the
scope and results of the interviews with jurors and setting out the answers given to the
interrogatories.
(c) Juror's Rights. Except in response to a Court order, no juror is compelled
to communicate with anyone concerning any trial in which the juror has been a
participant.
