"voir dire"

French for "to speak the truth." The process through which potential jurors are questioned by either the judge or a lawyer to determine their suitability for jury service. Also the preliminary questioning of witnesses to determine their competence to testify.

yeah. came across this while reading my cases for my Crim Law class.

i forgot tt Canada still has jury trials.
