Rule 25. Jury View

Effective August 1, 2003

When the court determines it is proper, the court may order the jury to view:

(a) the real or personal property which is the subject of the case; or

(b) the place in which a material fact occurred.

The place shall be shown to the jury by a person appointed by the court for that purpose. While the jury is absent for the view, no person, other than the person appointed to show the place to the jury, shall speak to the jury on any subject connected with the trial. Counsel for the parties shall have the right to accompany the jury but shall not speak to the jury.
