HCCLR 7
Jury Selection - CR 47 (a)
(A) Prior to trial, in those counties that have the
software capability, the clerk will by computer randomly
draw and assign a juror number to all of the prospective
jurors called for a particular trial. In all other counties
this shall be done manually in open court at the commencement
of the trial. A list of prospective juror
names and numbers will be provided to the parties.
(B) The Court will use a "struck jury" or "Donohue" method
of jury selection with the "up through the chairs"
rather than "replacement" feature. General questions and
preliminary instructions used by the Court are found in the
Washington Superior Court Criminal and Civil Benchbooks.
Any party may request the Court to ask prospective jurors
appropriate additional general questions proposed in advance
in writing and submitted with jury instructions. Each
attorney or pro se party will be given one block of time to
ask any general or individual questions.
