JURY QUESTIONNAIRE
To: Prospective Jurors
Ladies and Gentlemen, these are civil cases. Plaintiffs are homeowners who claim to have suffered property damage caused by Chinese-manufactured drywall. The defendant Interior
Exterior Building Supply (INEX) was the importer and distributor of the Chinese-manufactured drywall installed in plaintiffs’ homes. The defendant North River Insurance Company, Inc. is an insurer of INEX.
The parties agree that the Chinese drywall installed in plaintiffs’ homes emits sulfur gases which can cause damage to certain components in a home, such as HVAC units, refrigerators, electrical systems, plumbing systems, and other household items. They also agree that the Chinese drywall installed in the homes of all Plaintiffs was not fit for its ordinary or intended purpose, and none of the Plaintiffs would have purchased the Chinese drywall had they known about the defective nature of the Chinese drywall at the time it was purchased. Plaintiffs claim that the defendant INEX is liable for the damages resulting from this drywall. Defendants deny that INEX is liable.
The parties have a right to have this case tried by a qualified, fair, and impartial jury. A qualified and impartial jury is one that is responsible and capable and that will, without fear, favor, bias, prejudice, passion, or sympathy, hear and decide the issues to be tried objectively, and one that will render its verdict based solely on the evidence presented at this trial and the law applicable to the case as given to the jury by the Court.

It is the law that a juror’s qualifications and impartiality may not be assumed without
inquiry. This questionnaire is designed to obtain information about your qualifications to be a
juror in this case. By use of this questionnaire, the process of jury selection may be shortened.
Please respond to the following questions as completely as possible. Please remember that the
oath you took as a prospective juror requires you to give completely truthful answers to every
question.
If you are selected to serve as a juror, this questionnaire will become part of the
Court’s permanent record, but it will not be distributed to anyone except the attorneys in the

During questioning by the judge and the attorneys, you will be given an opportunity to explain or expand upon any answers, if necessary. If for any reason you do not want to answer any specific questions, please write the word “PRIVATE” next to the question, and we will take this matter up with you in private. Otherwise, please answer all questions that apply to you. For multiple-choice questions, please put a check next to the answer or answers that most fit your situation. Do not write on the back of any page. If you need extra room to write, use the last page and please remember to indicate the corresponding question number.
Since the questionnaire is part of the jury selection process, the questions must be answered by you under penalty of perjury, and you should fill out this questionnaire by yourself without consulting any other person.
