“Voir dire” is a legal term derived from French, which translates to “to see to speak” or “to speak the truth” in English. In the context of a trial, voir dire refers to the process of jury selection, where potential jurors are questioned by the judge and/or attorneys to determine their suitability to serve on a jury for a particular case. The purpose of voir dire is to ensure that the jury is impartial and free from biases that could affect their ability to fairly evaluate the evidence and render a verdict.
