Rule 69.02.Handbook of Information for Jurors.

Rule 69.02 is a brief, practical rule. It permits The Missouri Bar to distribute a handbook called Trial Jurors Information to the citizens summoned for jury duty. The rule doesn't require the distribution — it authorizes it — and it doesn't describe the handbook's contents, only its title and its intended audience.

In practice, this rule sits alongside the other Rule 69 provisions on how jurors experience a Missouri civil trial, from note-taking under Rule 69.03 to submitting questions under Rule 69.04. The handbook gives jurors general orientation before they ever hear a case, distinct from the instructions a judge gives on the law that applies to the case at hand.
