According to Judge James Zagel, the jurors will be anonymous, because this might prevent the jurors from being harassed once the trial has begun. Also, he says, that the jurors will be referred to by numbers inside the courtroom.

As said earlier the trial is set for June 3^rd, 2010. This date may be changed because of the expected motion.
