RULE 3.575. MOTION TO INTERVIEW JUROR

A party who has reason to believe that the verdict may be
subject to legal challenge may move the court for an order
permitting an interview of a juror or jurors to so determine. The
motion shall be filed within 10 days after the rendition of the
verdict, unless good cause is shown for the failure to make the
motion within that time. The motion shall state the name of any
juror to be interviewed and the reasons that the party has to believe
that the verdict may be subject to challenge. After notice and
hearing, the trial judge, upon a finding that the verdict may be
subject to challenge, shall enter an order permitting the interview,
and setting therein a time and a place for the interview of the juror
or jurors, which shall be conducted in the presence of the court and
the parties. If no reason is found to believe that the verdict may be
subject to challenge, the court shall enter its order denying
permission to interview.

Court Commentary

2004 Amendment. This rule does not abrogate Rule
Regulating The Florida Bar 4-3.5(d)(4), which allows an attorney to
interview a juror to determine whether the verdict may be subject to
legal challenge after filing a notice of intention to interview.
