Actually, here in our court jurisdiction, potential jurors are required to swear an oath prior to the voir dire phase affirming they will not give false statements in an attempt to either avoid jury duty or attempt to get on a jury as a biased participant; a second oath is required once the selected jurors are officially empaneled for trial; there are legal repercussions if the oath is violated...
