Rule 48 Number of Jurors; Verdict; Polling

Civil trials in the Virgin Islands don't spell out jury details in this particular rule. Instead, the rule points you to other parts of the Virgin Islands Code for these answers. If you want to know how many jurors sit on a civil case, how the jury reaches its verdict, or how the parties can ask jurors individually to confirm their vote (called polling), you need to look at 4 V.I.C. § 80 and Title 5, Chapters 31 and 33 of the Virgin Islands Code.

This means the specific rules about jury size and voting are found elsewhere in the law, not in the civil procedure rules themselves. If you're dealing with a civil case and have questions about how the jury will work, your attorney will need to check those other sections of the code for the full details.
