Jury and assessor questioning allows witness questions only under judicial control and with judicial approval.

Jury and assessor questioning in trials is permitted only through, or with leave of, the judge. Questions may be addressed to witnesses only where they are of the kind the judge could himself ask and are considered proper by the judge. The mechanism preserves judicial control over the examination of witnesses while allowing juries or assessors to seek clarification relevant to the evidence.
