the act of selecting a jury from the list of potential jurors, called the "panel"
or "venire. " The steps are 1) drawing names at random from a large number of jurors
called; 2) seating 12 tentative jurors (or fewer where agreed to); 3) hearing individual
juror requests for being excused, to be determined by the judge; 4) questions from
judge and lawyers for both sides, called "voir dire"; 5) challenges of tentative
jurors either for cause (decided by the judge) or peremptory (no reason given) by
the lawyers; 6) swearing in the jurors who survive this process.
