Juries
(a) Examination of Jurors.
(1) The Court will conduct the examination of prospective jurors.
(2) When the Court's examination is completed, attorneys and parties
appearing pro se may request that the Court ask additional questions to the
prospective jurors.
(b) Contacts Prohibited.
(1) All parties, witnesses, and attorneys shall avoid any extra-judicial
contact or communication with a grand juror or member of a petit jury venire or
panel who has been or may be selected in a case in which that person is involved.
No person may have any extra-judicial contact or communication, either directly
or indirectly, with a grand juror, member of a petit jury venire or panel which may
reasonably have the effect of influencing, or which is intended to influence, the
grand juror, potential petit juror, or sitting petit juror.
(2) Attorneys for parties shall inform their clients and witnesses of this
rule.
(3) No person shall approach a juror, either directly or through any
member of the juror’s immediate family, in an effort to secure information
concerning the juror's background.
(4) No provision of this rule is intended to prohibit communication with
a petit juror after the juror has been dismissed from further service, so long as the
communication does not tend to harass, humiliate, or intimidate the juror in any
fashion.
(c) Disclosure of Names and Addresses of Prospective Jurors.
(1) The names of prospective jurors for any session of court or for a
specific case may not be disclosed prior to their reporting for duty except in
compliance with instructions of the Court. The Clerk will make available to
counsel for the parties, and to any parties appearing pro se, a list which sets forth
the name, general address, and occupation of each potential juror when court is
opened for the session for which the jurors have been summoned.
(2) The names, addresses, and telephone numbers of persons who have
served as jurors may not be disclosed by the Clerk's Office without court
permission.
