[1] Jury selection will continue until twelve jurors[2] [and (one to two) alternates] have been chosen. Then we will take a short break. Court staff will show you to the jury room. At that time, you may contact your families and employers to tell them you were selected as a juror. We will then continue the trial (or specify). | |||
[1] This may have to be modified in situations where the trial is delayed by preliminary motions. | |||
