The next step in the selection of a jury after the creation of a master jury list is to form the jury panel or venire. This involves a process known as "voir dire," where potential jurors are selected from the master list to be part of the actual jury pool.
To form the jury panel or venire, the court summons a group of potential jurors from the master jury list. These individuals are then called to court and screened for eligibility and suitability to serve on the jury.
The process of forming the jury panel typically involves the following steps:
1. Summoning potential jurors: The court sends summonses to a designated number of individuals from the master jury list to appear in court on a specified date and time.
2. Eligibility screening: When potential jurors arrive at court, they are generally required to fill out questionnaires to ensure they meet the basic eligibility requirements for jury service, such as age, citizenship, and residency.
3. Initial examination: The court conducts an initial examination of the potential jurors to ensure that they are free from biases or conflicts of interest that could impact their ability to serve impartially. This examination may be conducted by the judge, attorneys, or a combination of both.
4. Challenges and dismissals: After the initial examination, the attorneys on each side have the opportunity to challenge and dismiss potential jurors they believe may be biased, unfit, or unsuitable for the case. There are two types of challenges: challenges for cause, which require a valid reason, and peremptory challenges, which do not require a reason.
5. Impaneling the jury: Once the challenges and dismissals have been made, the remaining potential jurors who are found to be eligible and suitable are selected to serve on the jury. This group of individuals then becomes the jury panel or venire.
After the jury panel is formed, the next steps in the trial process would typically involve examining potential jurors (Option B) by conducting further questioning to ensure their impartiality, dismissing certain jurors (Option C) through additional challenges and dismissals, and finally starting the trial (Option D) with the impaneled jury.
