How jury panels(全体陪审员) are examined and selected is controlled by statute (法规), court rules, local practices, and the judge's preferences. (偏爱)Your first step must always be to determine how a jury is selected in your judge' s courtroom. When in doubt, ask the judge or his court personnel. (全体人员)
Them are many variations(变化) in jury selection methods, but most are based on the two principal systems used today. The first is generally known as the 'strike system'. Under this sys- tem every juror in the venire is questioned under one of the methods described earlier. As each juror is questioned, the lawyers simply fill out a sheet, often a printed form, that lists each juror in succession. (连续)When the last juror has been questioned, the lawyers for each party designate (指示) those jurors against whom they wish to exercise peremptory (最后的) challenges. The lawyers then give their lists to the judge, who compares them and then simply calls the first 12 names -- assuming a 12 person jury -- that have not been challenged by any party. These 12 be- come the jury. Alternate (轮流的) jurors, if necessary, are simply the next unchallenged names on the lists.
The strike system has advantages and disadvantages. Its disadvantage is that it requires questioning every prospective (未来的) juror in the venirE.Its advantages, which probably account for its growing popularity, are that it avoids most of the gamesmanship of the selection process and keeps jurors from knowing which party used a peremptory challenge against them.
The traditional jury selection method, still common today, simply fills the jury box with the necessary number of jurors. Only the prospective jurors in the box are questioned under one of the methods described abovE.When each has been questioned, the plaintiff's lawyer will exercise the permptory challenges he wishes to use at that timE.The challenged jurors are excused (免除) and they are replaced by new jurors from the venire, who usually sit in the back of the courtroom. The new jurors in the box are then questioned, and plaintiff's (原告) lawyer again can exercise permptory challenges against them. This process continues until plaintiff's attorney (律师) accepts the panel and 'tenders (提出) the panel' to the defense lawyer then goes through the same steps, exercising his peremptory challenges, replacing the challenged jurors with new jurors from the venire, and continuing with this process until the defendant' s lawyer is satisfied with the pan- el. He then accepts the panel and tenders it back to the plaintifF.The plaintiff' s lawyer can then exercise peremptory challenges against jurors he had not previously (以前) accepteD.This process goes back and forth until both sides accept the same panel of jurors. Alternate jurors, if necessary, are picked through the same process.
The traditional method also has advantages and disadvantages. Its advantage is that only those jurors in the jury box need to be questioneD.Its disadvantages are that it permits a great deal of gamesmanship during the selection process.
Keep in mind that the two selection methods described above are not the only methods employeD.There are numerous (很多的) variations of these methods. The safest course is always to learn in advance how the jury for your particular (特定的) case and in front of the particular judge will be selecteD.

When I heard that Mrs. Thatcher resigned, I called her. I wanted her to know that my heart was with her, and that I thought England owed her a great debt and was going to miss her. I told her that the United States and many other countries would miss her as well. She was quite self- possessed, as always. She didn't hold any grudges (恶意). She just understood that this was the right thing to do.For as long as I have known her, she has known her mind and spoken it clearly. It was one of the things that I respected her for at our first meeting, back in 1975. I had just left the governorship of California and was in London to make a speech, and she had just taken the leadership of the Conservative Party. Justin Dart, an American businessman, set up the meeting. He told me that he thought we had much in common. We were only supposed to (被期望) meet for a few minutes, but we talked for over an hour. She was warm and feminine, gracious and intelligent, it was clear to me that we were soulmates (意气相投的人)when it came to reducing government and expanding economic opportunity. At a reception that evening, an Englishman asked me what I thought of her. I said, 'I think she' d make a magnificent Prime Minister. “He looked at me with mocking(愚弄)disdain (轻视)” My dear fellow, ' he said, “a women Prime Minister?” I replied that England had once had a queen named Victoria who had done rather well.A few years later, Mrs. Thatcher was Prime Minister -- and I had the chance to renew our friendship as the President. I admired greatly what she was doing in England to recover from the years of socialist rule because that's what the Labor Party is.We were always comfortable with each other. Our first state dinner was for her, and so was our last, We still stalk and I think there has never been any feeling in our relationship that we will stop. I plan to see her soon in England, though not, she reminded me, again at 10 Downing Street. In 1983, when I was hosting the Economic Summit in Williamsburg, VA., we had a dinner at the old British colonial governor's homE.I thought it would be fun to tease her in my toast by saying, 'Margaret, if some of your predecessor had been a little more clever, you would be hosting this dinner in Williamsburg. “I had gotten as far as saying”. . , a little more clever. . . 'When she cut in and joked, 'I know, I would be hosting this dinner in Williamsburg. 'We all had a good laugh. At the dinner, everyone turned and looked at mE.'Tell us about the American miracle, ' said Helmut Kohl, the chancellor of West Germany. I launched into a variation of the speech I had made for years, about how excessive tax rates can take away the incentive to produce, and how cutting taxes can generate growth. It wasn't long before I read about a wave of tax cutting in other countries. But no one did more in this regard than Margaret Thatcher. I don't claim credit for convincing her of the merits of free enterprisE.She was just as determined as I to get government off the backs of the peoplE.In many ways, she was able to accomplish more in this regard (在这个问题上) than we were, perhaps because she did not have to deal with a Democratic Congress.I believe it was Mrs. Thatcher who introduced the idea of all the heads of government at the economic summits addressing each other by their first names. I know it helped put me at ease(安逸). When I felt like the new kid at school at my first economic summit in Ottawa in 1981, I waited for a lull (间歇) in the meeting and said, 'My name is Ron. , 'I always thought she was a common-sense person who discussed things the way they ought to be discusseD.We disagreed from time to time, but the disagreements went away when we had a chance to talk. Before I met with Mikhail Gorbachev of our first summit -- the Fireside Summit in Geneva in November, 1985 -- I talked with Mrs. Thatcher. She told me that Gorbachev was different from any of the other Kremlin leadA.was feeling bad about itB.failed to pull herself togetherC.was quite calmD.was in no mood for a talk
