How many hours following the verdict must you inform a juror of the case identity and the party you represent?

12 hours
24 hours
48 hours
72 hours

The correct answer is: 24 hours

The time frame within which you must inform a juror of the case identity and the party you represent is established by legal protocol. After a verdict is reached in a trial, it is essential to maintain the integrity of the judicial process and ensure that jurors are not approached immediately, preserving their privacy and the sanctity of their deliberations. Informing a juror within 24 hours strikes a balance between respecting their right to confidentiality and the necessity of post-verdict communication. This time frame allows for reflection on the juror's role and the impact of the case without overwhelming them immediately after the verdict, which may still be a sensitive period for them. Understanding and adhering to this requirement is crucial not only for compliance with legal standards but also for maintaining professional ethics as a private investigator or legal practitioner.
