Full Text of Rule 32
Amendment History
Adopted by order of the Supreme Court, 2014 OK 18, effective May 23, 2014.
Plain-English Summary
Rule 32 balances two things the trial process pulls in opposite directions: the parties' interest in knowing about the people who may decide their case, and each juror's interest in privacy and in the confidentiality of what the questionnaire asked them to disclose. The rule states that balance and then resolves it with three concrete limits.
Copies of the questionnaires are made available only for use during voir dire, and only to attorneys for the parties and to the trial court. All copies are destroyed at the conclusion of voir dire. The original questionnaires of all jurors are sealed by the district court and retained, but are not made part of the public record.
The rule applies when juror questionnaires are used at a trial; it does not itself require that they be used.
