Not until the trial is over. Once a jury is discharged, there are no legal restrictions limiting interaction between jurors and the participants in a case. But during a trial, be it criminal or civil, jurors aren?t allowed to communicate with lawyers, judges, plaintiffs, defendants, or witnesses outside of the courtroom. If a plaintiff or defendant and a juror do begin dating during a trial?or even flirt, as reporters observed in John Edwards' criminal trial last month?then a lawyer of bailiff may bring an allegation of juror misconduct to the judge. The judge could let the behavior go unpunished, or issue a warning to the juror, or discharge the juror from the trial and appoint an alternate in his or her place. Egregious misbehavior could earn the juror a citation for contempt of court, which can result in fines or jail time.
