Summary

This legal document, filed on October 26, 2021, is a submission by the Government to the Court regarding jury selection procedures for an upcoming trial. The Government argues against providing juror identities to the parties weeks in advance, citing precedent that the purpose of voir dire is to identify disqualifications, not to enable deep background research. The Government requests that peremptory challenges be made at the conclusion of voir dire, not on the trial's start date of November 29, 2021, and asks the Court for clarification on the matter.

"the purpose of the voir dire is to ascertain disqualifications, not to afford individual analysis in depth to permit a party to choose a jury that fits into some mold that he believes appropriate for his case."
