Voir dire is the process of questioning members of the jury pool conducted by both the defense and prosecution prior to choosing jurors to sit on the jury panel. Whereas this process usually takes place in open court, a 'sequestered' voire dire would mean that the jury panel was questioned in a 'closed' situation with only the judge, court clerk, court stenographer, Bailiff, defendant/respondant, and the opposing lawyers present.

What is voir dire?
Voir dire refers to the questioning of prospective jurors, during the jury selection process, by the judge and attorneys. It is used as a means to determine a bias in any juror which may make them unable to judge the issues fairly. When people respond to a jury summons, they gather at the court house to form a pool of potential jurors from which they are called in groups for specific criminal or civil trials. There they are questioned by attorneys for each side and/or the trial judge about their background, life experiences, and opinions to determine whether they can weigh the evidence fairly and objectively. This process is called voir dire, an Anglo-French term meaning "to speak the truth." Voir dire may also involve questioning of an expert witness to determine the level of competency or a hearing held outside the presence of the jury during a trial.
