§ 360.20 Trial jury; examination of prospective jurors; challenges

generally.

If no challenge to the panel is made as prescribed by section 360.15,

or if such challenge is made and disallowed, the court must direct that

the names of not less than six members of the panel be drawn and called.

Such persons must take their places in the jury box and must be

immediately sworn to answer truthfully questions asked them relative to

their qualifications to serve as jurors in the action. The procedural

rules prescribed in section 270.15 with respect to the examination of

the prospective jurors and to challenges are also applicable to the

selection of a trial jury in a local criminal court.
