Description

http://www.juryinstructions.ca8.uscourts.gov/8th%20Circuit%20Manual%20of%20Model%20Civil%20Jury%20Instructions.pdf 1.01 Explanatory: Before Void Dire is a procedure in a jury trial which involves the selection of jurors. This process is also known as jury selection and is undertaken by both parties in the case. The purpose of void dire is to select a fair and impartial jury that is capable of considering the facts and evidence presented in the case. The process typically begins with the judge explaining the nature of the case and the parties involved. The judge then questions each potential juror about their background, experience, and biases to make sure they are suitable to serve on the jury. After the questioning is complete, both parties can make challenges for cause or peremptory challenges to either accept or reject a potential juror. This process continues until the jury is chosen.
