VOIR DIRE EXAMINATION OF PERSONS CALLED AS JURORS (§ 8.01-358)

The court and counsel for either party shall have the right to examine under
oath any person who is called as a juror therein and shall have the right to ask
such person or juror directly any relevant question to ascertain whether he is
related to either party, or has any interest in the cause, or has expressed or
formed any opinion, or is sensible of any bias or prejudice therein; and the
party objecting to any juror may introduce any competent evidence in support of
the objection; and if it shall appear to the court that the juror does not stand
indifferent in the cause, another shall be drawn or called and placed in his
stead for the trial of that case.
		A juror, knowing anything relative to a fact in issue, shall disclose the same
in open court.
