How many jurors serve for a case?
The number of jurors serving on a case can vary depending on the jurisdiction. In the United States, it is typically 12 jurors for criminal cases and 6 or 12 jurors for civil cases. However, some countries may have different requirements and procedures for determining the number of jurors for a case.
What are the activities that involve jurors before the trial?
Jurors aren't referred to as "jurors" until the are empanelled for a trial. Up until that time they are PROSPECTIVE JURORS or, MEMBERS OF THE JURY POOL. They are chosen at random from (depending on the state) the voter registration lists or drivers' license lists of their states and sent summonses to appear for jury service. When a jury is needed for a trial several dozen will be selected (again, at random) and those will undergo a process known as VOIRE DIRE, where they are questioned by the defense and prosecution/plaintiff attorneys in an effort to weed out those they think may be the best candidates to hear their case. After that process is complete, both attorneys approach the judge and make their selections. Once the correct number is seated for that particular trial the un-selected group returns to the jury assembly room for possible calls for service in other case. The ones chosen (the number can vary according to the type of trial and state statute) and they are then sworn in by the presiding judge and they THEN become the JURY for that particular case.
What is the role of jurors?
Jurors review the evidence in a trial and then decide issues of fact, and give a verdict based on their agreed upon facts. For example, in a murder trial, they would watch the evidence and decide "did he do it?" If they are convinced he did, they would find the defendant guilty. In a civil trial, the issue would be more akin to "is she responsible?" In that case, they would find the defendant liable and set damages.
How many jurors need to agree in a civil trial?

Can lawyers ask jurors personal questions?
It depends where they are in the process. During jury selection, there is an opportunity to interview the jury pool. The questions can be personal, but should have some relationship to the case and the ability to serve. Once the trial has started, there should not be individual conversations with jurors.
