How is jury foreman selected?

The jury foreman is typically selected by the jurors themselves during their deliberations. After the jury has been sworn in, jurors may discuss among themselves and choose a member they believe will effectively lead discussions and communicate their collective decisions to the court. In some cases, the judge may also suggest or appoint a foreman, especially if the jurors are unable to reach a consensus. The foreman’s role includes facilitating deliberations and ensuring that the jury's verdict is properly documented and presented.
