The group of potential jurors (the "jury pool", also known as the venire) is first selected from among the community using a reasonably random method . Jury lists are compiled from voter registrations and driver license or ID renewals . From those lists, summons are mailed . A panel of jurors is then assigned to a courtroom . The prospective jurors are randomly selected to sit in the jury box . At this stage they will be questioned in court by the judge and / or attorneys in the United States . Depending on the jurisdiction, attorneys may have an opportunity to mount a challenge for cause argument or use one of a limited number of peremptory challenges . In some jurisdictions that have capital punishment, the jury must be death - qualified to remove those who are opposed to the death penalty . Jury selection and techniques for voir dire are taught to law students in trial advocacy courses . However, attorneys sometimes use expert assistance in systematically choosing the jury, although other uses of jury research are becoming more common . The jury selected is said to have been "empaneled". </P> <P> Selected jurors are generally subjected to a system of examination whereby both the prosecution (or plaintiff, in a civil case) and defense can object to a juror . In common law countries, this is known as voir dire . Voir dire can include both general questions asked of an entire pool of prospective jurors, answered by means such as a show of hands, and questions asked of individual prospective jurors and calling for a verbal answer . In some jurisdictions, the attorneys for the parties may question the potential jurors; in other jurisdictions, the trial judge conducts the voir dire . </P>
