Once the courtroom is prepared and the trial is ready to begin, the clerk will call for a panel of jurors. The panel will be sent from the jury assembly room and each panel will vary in number depending on the judge's evaluation of that particular case.
Prior to the arrival of the prospective jury panel, the bailiff shall reserve seats in the courtroom to accommodate the panel. Spectators will be directed to sit on one side of the courtroom so the jury panel can be kept together.
When the jurors first arrive, one juror will have an envelope containing a random list with the names of each juror in the panel. This envelope shall be given to the clerk.
The bailiff shall, prior to the judge taking the bench, ascertain if the jury panel is complete and instruct them on how to enter the jury box.
