`
`JUROR QUESTIONNAIRE
`Instructions
`
`Dear Prospective Juror:
`
`An important part of any trial is the jury selection process. During jury selection, the judge and the lawyers for the
`parties will ask all of the prospective jurors questions. These questions are necessary to ensure that those selected to
`serve on the jury are representative of our community at large, and can be fair and impartial judges of the facts.
`Giving complete and candid answers on this questionnaire and during jury selection is an important step for ensuring
`a fair and impartial trial and is one of your important duties as a prospective juror.
`
`From this moment going forward, and until you are released from the jury selection process, you must not
`communicate about this case or your role as a prospective juror with anyone, including your family and friends.
`This is because the Court requires you to use only the information/evidence you receive in court to make your
`decisions and to be free from outside influences.
`
`You must not read anything about the case or listen to any reports about the case, to the extent that there are any. In
`addition, do not communicate about or do any research about the case, the parties, the attorneys, or the case issues
`by any means.
`
`What follows is a brief questionnaire. Please answer each question as completely and accurately as you reasonably
`can. Your answers will help reduce the amount of time needed to complete the jury selection process. If there is not
`sufficient space provided for you to complete your answer, please use the blank space on this page to complete your
`answer. The information provided by you will be treated as confidential and used only for purposes of jury selection
`in this case.
`
`If you feel that any question requires an answer which is too sensitive, personal or private to be discussed in open
`court, simply write “PRIVATE” in the left margin next to your answer and the questioning on that topic will be held
`in private, out of the presence of the other prospective jurors.
`
`Please do not discuss either the questions or your answers with anyone, not even your family or friends. If you do
`not understand a particular question, please write “I DO NOT UNDERSTAND” next to the question and it will be
`explained to you in Court.
`
`Keep in mind there are no “right” or “wrong” answers, only complete and incomplete answers. Complete answers
`are far more helpful than incomplete answers because they make additional questioning unnecessary. Therefore,
`they shorten the time it takes to select a jury.
`
`We thank you for your cooperation and your service as a prospective juror.
`
`
`
