LR83.12 Release of Juror Information Names and personal information concerning petit and grand jurors shall not be disclosed to attorneys, parties, the public or the media, except as provided herein.

Names and personal information concerning persons who have been entered in the jury wheel shall not be disclosed, except upon order of the Court.

Names and personal information concerning prospective and sitting petit jurors shall not be disclosed to the public or media outside open court, except upon order of the Court. A request for disclosure of petit juror names and personal information to the media or public must be made to the presiding judge.

The Clerk may provide names and personal information concerning prospective petit jurors to the attorneys (or a party if proceeding pro se) in a case set for trial unless otherwise directed by the Court. The names and information will be provided in written form only (hereafter "the jury list"). The attorneys (or party) may not share the jury list or information therein except as necessary for purposes of jury selection. Following jury selection, the attorneys (or party) provided the jury list must return to the Clerk the jury list and any copies made from the jury list provided to them and/or destroy them.

The Court may order juror names and personal information to be kept confidential where the interests of justice so require.
