By Dan Levine SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Jurors will have an opportunity to pose their own questions on Friday to the ex-partner who filed a sexual discrimination case against Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, which could reveal their impressions in the third week of trial. Ellen Pao has answered questions on the stand for the past four days, saying a lawsuit was her only way to help women advance at the venture capital firm. At least 37 states, including California, permit jurors to pose their own questions in civil cases once the lawyers are done, according to the American Judicature Society. For witnesses in the Pao case, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Harold Kahn has asked jurors to submit questions to him in writing.
