Counsel shall include in the proposed Pretrial Order:

(1) A joint listing of the questions which the parties wish the Court to propound to the jurors concerning their legal qualifications to serve.

(2) A listing by each party of requested general voir dire questions to the jurors.

The Court will question prospective jurors as to their address and occupation and as to the occupation of a spouse, if any. Follow-up questions by counsel may be permitted. The determination of whether the district judge or counsel will propound general voir dire questions is a matter of courtroom policy which shall be established by each judge.
