RULE 47.
JURORS
(e) Challenge.
(9) Peremptory Challenges. All peremptory challenges allowed by law
shall be exercised in the following manner:
The clerk shall keep a list of jurors passed for cause and when it is
complete will provide the list to the attorneys for the parties who will, in
turn, exercise challenges by striking the name of each challenged juror without
oral comment. After all challenges have been exhausted or waived, the judge
will excuse those jurors who have been challenged and will seat the jury as
finally selected.
The purpose of this Rule is to preserve the secrecy of peremptory
challenges, and all parties and their attorneys shall conduct themselves to
that end, provided, however, the trial judge may modify this procedure if it is
deemed appropriate.
[Amended effective September 1, 1995; September 1, 2012.]
