What is the clerk's role in assembling six jurors after lists are presented?

• A. Writes the first names on the unstruck lists and distributes copies to the parties.
• B. Delivers the verdict.
• C. Conducts the voir dire.
• D. Schedules the trial.

Answer: (A)

In jury assembly, the clerk handles the juror lists as a routine administrative task. After the lists are presented and any strikes are tallied, the remaining candidates form the unstruck list. The clerk writes the first names on that unstruck list and distributes copies to the parties so both sides can see exactly who remains eligible for the panel. This creates an official record and helps prepare the six jurors for the voir dire process. Tasks like delivering the verdict, conducting voir dire, or scheduling the trial are handled by other participants in the court process, not this clerical step.
