                                JURY SELECTION


    (a)  Panel.  The jury administrator will randomly assign sequential numbers,
beginning with "1," to all prospective jurors who have timely appeared for
trial, and will cause them to be seated in the courtroom in that order when
directed by the trial judge to do so.  The judge and counsel will be provided
with a roster of the panel as seated.

    (b)  Examination.  Unless otherwise ordered by the judge presiding at trial,
juries will be selected after panel examination.  The judge will conduct
orientation and general questioning of the panel.  Thereafter, counsel will, in
turn, be permitted to question the panel, or individual members thereof, for a
stated period of time set by the judge.  The judge may allow a second period of
questioning by each side.  For good cause shown, the judge may extend the
period of questioning, or allow additional rounds, on motion of a party.

    (c)  Challenges.  Challenges for cause shall be made openly or at sidebar, as
the judge may direct.  After examination of the panel, counsel will, in turn,
exercise peremptory challenges by striking names from a roster of those panel
members not previously dismissed.  After peremptory challenges, the remaining
unchallenged jurors with the twelve (or, in appropriate cases, six) lowest
roster numbers shall be seated as the jury.  The remaining juror(s) with the
next lowest roster number(s) will be seated as the alternate juror(s).
