The voir dire examination of jurors shall be conducted under the direction and
control of the Court with the following guidelines:

It is expected that voir dire, in most cases, will consume less than thirty minutes.

The Court shall ask all general questions and thereafter shall give leave to
the respective parties to ask such supplementary questions as may be deemed
proper and necessary by the Court.  The parties shall submit all proposed
general questions in writing prior to voir dire.

The Court may intervene without objection in instances of inappropriate questioning
and  may limit the amount of time each party has to examine a juror or jury panel.
