E.D.N.C. Local Civil Rule 47.1

(a) Jury Lists.

When the jury for a session of the court is drawn, the clerk shall furnish a

copy of the list of prospective jurors to the attorneys for the parties and to

any unrepresented party on a relevant trial roster, upon their request, unless

otherwise directed by the court. The clerk shall notify the presiding judge

and the opposing party of any such request by an unrepresented party prior

to providing the requested list. The list shall set out the name and county of

residence of each prospective juror. The jurors and their families shall not

be contacted, either directly or indirectly, in an effort to secure information

concerning the background of any member of the jury panel. When the

jurors are seated in the jury box, a chart or list showing the name and seating

assignment of each juror shall be furnished to the parties by the clerk.

(b) Examination of Jurors.

The court shall conduct the examination of prospective jurors. Seven days

preceding the first day of the session during which a civil action is set for

trial, each party shall file a list of any voir dire questions the party desires

the court to ask the jury other than routine questions such as (1) the

occupations and addresses of jurors and their spouses; (2) the identity and

relation of jurors, the parties, attorneys, and witnesses; and (3) the knowledge

of the jurors concerning the case.

(c) Contact with Trial Jurors.

Following the discharge of a jury from further consideration of a case, no

attorney or party shall individually or through an investigator or any person

acting for such attorney or party ask questions of or make comments to a

member of that jury or members of the family of such a juror that are

calculated merely to harass or embarrass such a juror or member of such

juror’s family or to influence the actions of such a juror or a member of such

juror’s family in future jury service.
