sitting jurors shall not be disclosed to the public outside open
court, except upon order of the court.  A request for disclosure of
petit jurors' names and personal information shall be made in
writing directly to the presiding judge or chief judge, or any
district judge acting as his or her designee.  The court shall order
juror names and personal information to be kept confidential unless
the interests of justice require otherwise.

jurors may be provided to the attorneys of record after the general
panel jurors have been selected and summoned, unless otherwise
directed by the court.  The names and information will be provided
in written form only, hereafter referred to as "the jury list".  The
attorneys shall not share the jury list or information contained in
the jury list except as necessary for purposes of jury selection.
Following jury selection, the attorneys shall return the original
jury lists and any copies to the court.  Counsel shall be under a
continuing duty to protect the confidentiality of juror information.
D.  The names of grand jurors shall not be maintained in any
public record or otherwise disclosed to the public except upon an
order of the court issued on a showing that exceptional
circumstances have created a demonstrated need for disclosure.
