The process begins with the oath given to the venire in the courtroom. When the panel has been seated, the judge addresses the members about the voir dire, the challenge practice, and the nature of the case being tried. The jurors then respond to questions posed by the judge (and, in some courts, by counsel). After examination, counsel may exercise challenges for cause. Jurors replacing those excused for cause are questioned, and counsel begin exercising their peremptory challenges. After alternate jurors are chosen, the judge asks counsel if the jury is acceptable as constituted, and the clerk administers the oath. Numerous selection instruments and recommendations regarding this process are appended. Footnotes are included.
