Voir dire is a legal process used during jury selection in a trial. It involves questioning potential jurors to determine their suitability to serve on a jury. The goal is to identify any biases or preconceived notions that might affect their judgment in the case. Both the prosecution and defense have the opportunity to ask questions and assess the jurors' backgrounds and beliefs. During voir dire, attorneys may also challenge potential jurors, seeking to exclude those they believe cannot be impartial. This process helps ensure a fair trial by selecting a jury that can objectively evaluate the evidence presented in court.
