Local Rule 47-2 - Communication with Jurors

(a) Communication Not Allowed. No party or attorney (or any of their employees or agents) may communicate or attempt to communicate off the record:

(1) with a member of the venire from which the jury will be selected; or

(2) with a juror.

(b) Exceptions. The court may allow a party or attorney to communicate with jurors after the trial if all other parties are given notice. In criminal cases, a party or attorney must show good cause before the court will allow communication with a juror.

(c) Control by Court. Any juror contact permitted by the court will be subject to the control of the judge.
