TRIAL CONDUCT ORDER # 1

Preliminary court proceedings dealing with jury selection
begin Monday, February 6, 2006, when approximately 500 jurors
will report to the Albert V. Bryan United States Courthouse in
Alexandria, Virginia, to fill out the Jury Questionnaire prepared
for this case. There will be a total of four identical brief
court sessions starting, respectively, at approximately 10:00
a.m. in courtroom 1000, 10:30 a.m. in courtroom 900, 2:00 p.m. in
courtroom 1000 and 2:30 p.m. in courtroom 900, during which the
Court will preliminarily instruct the prospective jurors about
the case and explain the Jury Questionnaire. Although these
proceedings are open to the public, because the number of jurors
for each session exceeds the seating capacity of the courtrooms,
no public seating will be available. To maximize public access,
however, two seats per session have been reserved for media
representatives. After each session, the courtrooms will be
sealed to allow the prospective jurors to complete the Jury
Questionnaire. A blank copy of the Jury Questionnaire will be

available on the court’s web site, www.vaed.uscourts.gov, after

\®


the completion of the first morning session.

After all of the prospective jurors have filled out the Jury
Questionnaire, the next court proceeding dealing with jury
selection will begin on Wednesday, February 15, 2006, at 9:30
a.m. in courtroom 700, which will be the courtroom in which the
trial will be conducted. Randomly selected prospective jurors
will report in small groups for individual questioning (voir
dire) by the Court, with questions provided by counsel. After a
juror has been questioned, the parties will raise any challenges
to that juror’s qualifications. If the juror is not excused for
cause, he or she will be directed to return on Monday, March 6,
2006, for final jury selection which will begin at 10:00 a.m. in
courtroom 700, and be followed by opening statements expected to
begin at 2:00 p.m.

The individual voir dire proceedings will be conducted in
open court from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Mondays through
Thursdays, except for Monday, February 20, 2006, when the court
will be closed for a federal holiday, and will also be conducted
on Fridays from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. With the exception of 16
seats reserved for staff connected to counsel, all seating in
courtroom 700 for the individual voir dire will be unreserved and
available on a first come basis. Unreserved overflow seating
will be available on a first come basis in courtroom 701, in
which the proceedings may be seen and heard via closed circuit
television (CCTV). Together, these two courtrooms can
accommodate approximately 160 spectators.

Starting with opening statements on March 6, 2006, 56 seats
in courtroom 700 will be specifically assigned to previously
credentialed members of the media, staff connected to counsel,
victims of September 11, and court personnel. The remaining 24
seats will be unreserved and available on a first come basis to
anyone. Seating in courtroom 701, the overflow courtroom, will
be available on a first come basis to anyone who passes through
the security checks. Courtroom 801 has been reserved exclusively
for eligible victims who have received credentials to view this
trial via CCTV. Victims who have not received credentials may
view the proceedings in courtrooms 700 and 701 on a first come
basis. Trial proceedings are presently scheduled for Monday
through Thursday from approximately 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.,
however, the schedule remains subject to change.
