(a) SELECTION AND ASSIGNMENT
Grand and petit jurors shall be selected at random in accordance with a plan adopted by
the Court and available from the Jury Office. Petit jurors shall be assigned to a single
jury pool and reassigned for service upon the requisition of each trial judge.
(b) PUBLIC RELEASE OF JUROR INFORMATION
(1) Petit Jurors: Parties, attorneys, court personnel, and others who are provided
identifying information by the Court about sitting or prospective petit jurors,
including names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and employment
information, shall maintain the confidentiality of that information, unless
disclosure is authorized by order of the Court. A request for disclosure of
identifying information about sitting or prospective petit jurors to the public must
be made to the presiding judge.
(2) Grand Jurors: As matters occurring before a grand jury are secret, and records,
orders, and subpoenas relating to grand jury proceedings are maintained under seal,
the release of the identity of grand jurors to the public or to the media presents
significant legal and other issues. Accordingly, to protect and preserve grand jury
secrecy, no disclosure is permitted to the public or to the media of the names,
addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, or employment information of any
member of a grand jury, except upon order of the Court. Should a request for
information concerning the identity of a grand juror arise, the Court will determine
whether the disclosure of such information is warranted, consistent with the
provisions of FED. R. CRIM. P. 6(e) and 28 U.S.C. § 1867(f).
