(a) The selection, qualification, summoning, exemption or excuse from service of petit jurors shall
be governed by the Plan of Implementation adopted by the Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1861 et seq. The Plan
is available for inspection at the office of the Clerk.
(b) In any case where each side is entitled to an equal number of peremptory challenges, these
challenges shall alternate one by one, with the plaintiff in a civil case exercising the first challenge.
(c) In any case where there is more than one defendant, in the event the Court allows defendants
additional peremptory challenges, the order of challenge will be established by the Court.
(d) The passing of a peremptory challenge by any party shall not constitute a waiver of the right
thereafter to exercise the same against any juror, unless all parties pass successive challenges.
(e) No attorney or party to an action shall personally or through any investigator or other person
acting for such attorney or party, directly or indirectly interview, examine or question any juror, relative, friend
or associate thereof during the pendency of the trial or with respect to the deliberations or verdict of the jury in
any action, except on leave of Court granted upon good cause shown.
