Self-Represented Legal. Lifornia Courts - Learn About the Trial Process. When a jury trial is about to begin, the trial court judge requests a panel of prospective jurors to be sent to the courtroom from the jury assembly room so that the jury selection process can begin.

The perjury admonishment, which basically requires potential jurors to tell the truth when answering the questions, is read as follows: "Do you, and each of you, understand and agree that you will accurately and truthfully answer, under penalty of perjury, all questions propounded to you concerning your qualifications and competency to serve as a trial juror in the matter pending before this court, and that failure to do so may subject you to criminal prosecution? " The court clerk calls groups of jurors for questioning by the judge and the attorneys. Do not conduct your own investigation of the case. 6th District Court of Appeal.
