The voir dire process, derived from the French term meaning "to speak the truth," allows attorneys from both sides to question potential jurors to determine their suitability for the case. The goal is to identify any biases or prejudices that may interfere with the jurors' ability to make an unbiased decision based solely on the evidence presented.


陪審員遴選程序結束後,雙方律師均有機會以正當理由對潛在陪審員提出異議。當有正當理由相信某位陪審員無法維持公正無私時,即可提出異議。常見的異議理由包括陪審員與案件有個人關聯、有利益衝突,或存在可能影響其判斷的先入為主的觀念。


After the challenges for cause, the attorneys have a limited number of peremptory challenges, which allow them to dismiss potential jurors without providing a reason. The number of peremptory challenges may vary depending on jurisdiction and the nature of the case. These challenges can be used strategically to exclude potential jurors whom the attorneys believe may be biased against their client's interests.


雙方提出異議完畢後,剩餘人員將組成最終的陪審團,審理此案。這些陪審員應摒棄個人偏見和成見,根據庭審中提出的證據做出公正無私的裁決。


最終陪審團成員的遴選是審判過程中至關重要的時刻。它確保了決定案件結果的陪審員不受偏見影響,能夠做出公正的判決。預審程序和因故迴避程序有助於剔除任何可能存在個人衝突或偏見的潛在陪審員,以免影響他們做出公正的決定。


值得注意的是,最終選定的陪審員群體應代表社會各階層,反映審判所在地社區的多樣性。這有助於確保在審判過程中,不同社區群體的觀點和經驗都能得到體現。


總之,最終陪審團的遴選是法律程序中至關重要的一步。它確保最終做出判決的人公正無私,不受任何偏見的影響。預審程序和因故迴避程序有助於識別可能因個人衝突或偏見而不符合資格的潛在陪審員。透過精心挑選多元化的陪審員群體,法律體系旨在維護正義原則,並為所有相關方提供公平審判。
