Why do I have to answer personal questions before I’m chosen for jury duty?

Often when you are called for jury duty they are going to ask you a lot of personal questions that you might not want to answer especially in front of other people who you do or do not know. Sometimes you can ask to answer those in front of the judge you can write a note and say “Can I answer those questions in chambers with the judge” and the attorney is not in.

But they will ask you personal questions for a reason. He may have hit someone, we don’t know, but they want to make sure that you have no prejudices and they will ask you a variety of questions obviously depending on the type of case it is to see if you could be a fair juror.
