LCrRLJ 6.3.  SELECTING THE JURY
                          See LCRLJ 38.


     (a)  In criminal cases set for jury trial, it is mandatory
     that the attorneys, or defendant in a pro se case, notify
     the court at readiness hearing whether or not they will
     proceed to jury trial.  If the trial is cancelled at a
     party's request following readiness hearing but before the
     time for notification set forth in subsection (b), terms may
     be assessed against the attorneys in an amount equal to the
     cost of summoning a jury panel.

     (b)  In criminal cases set for jury trial, it is mandatory
     that the attorneys, or parties in a pro se case, notify the
     court by 3:00 p.m. the day prior to trial whether or not
     they will proceed to jury trial. The purpose of this
     requirement is to permit the cancellation of unneeded jury
     panels and the savings of the costs thereof.  If this
     required communication is not received, terms may be
     assessed against the attorneys and/or parties.
