To help the attorneys for both sides chooses Jurors appropriate for the case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prospective Jurors are examined by the attorneys with a series of questions to determine whether they are appropriate to judge a case without expressing any impartiality or bias. Voir dire is the inquisitorial method which is conducted by the legal solicitors based on which they may select a juror or reject them.

Voir Dire analyses are critical and significant which is equal to the presentation of evidence in a case. A trial judge along with the attorneys can pose questions to the potential jurors to evaluate whether they are fair and open minded or have possessed preconceived notions about a particular case.
