LLARLJ 7
                     Contact with jurors


     No litigant or attorney shall have any contact with any venire
person or juror pending discharge of the jury.  Any requests by a
litigant or an attorney for post-trial communication shall be
conveyed to the juror through the bailiff.  Contact shall only
occur if the juror affirmatively indicates a willingness to meet
with the litigant or the attorney. The bailiff shall advise the
juror that there is no obligation to discuss any matter with the requesting party.

          If the juror agrees to meet with the requesting party,
the conversation shall occur in the courtroom.  The bailiff shall
be present to insure that the juror is not challenged, threatened,
or harangued, and that such conversation will not improperly
influence the juror in any future trial.  Questions shall be
limited to the basis of the jury's decision, critiques of counsel's
performance, and any alleged juror impropriety.

      No litigant or any attorney shall enter the jury room
corridor or any jury room without explicit authorization from the bailiff.
