Rule text

(a) Number of Jurors. -- A jury must begin with at least 6 and no more than 12 members, and each juror must participate in the verdict unless excused under Rule 47(f).

(b) Verdict. -- Unless the parties stipulate otherwise, the verdict must be unanimous and must be returned by a jury of at least 6 members.

(c) Polling. -- After a verdict is returned but before the jury is discharged, the court must on a party's request, or may on its own, poll the jurors individually. If the poll reveals a lack of unanimity or lack of assent by the number of jurors that the parties stipulated to, the court may direct the jury to deliberate further or may order a new trial.
