    2) 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.

questioning and may limit the amount of time each party has to examine a juror
or jury panel.
