Is that true?
The jurors are not to serve if they know the judge, lawyer, prosecutor or defendant. The judge and lawyers often times know the defendant since he/she may have been tried in that jurisdiction before.

I'm not aware of any specific rule or law but common sense dictates that it's a big mistake for anyone of those parties you mentioned to have any sort of relationship with a defendant.
A defendants lawyer is supposed to recuse any jurors (to reject or challenge (a judge or juror) as disqualified to act, esp. because of interest or bias) like that during selection so IF one got through without a lawyer challenging them and IF the defendant didn't speak up and say something then that person could sit on a jury.

As for the Judge, that would be not only an ethics violation but, if it was discovered, be serious grounds for appeal. Any Judge is supposed to recuse himself (to withdraw from a position of judging so as to avoid any semblance of partiality or bias) if he has a personal relationship with any of the parties involved.
The same should hold true for the opposing lawyer as well. State/Provincial Bar Assn rules would dictate that I believe. United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v.

Sort of. If the judge or members of the jury know either party, they must disclose their relationship. If there is no objection from the lawyers or their clients, then a recussal is not required.
For example, in a small town, everyone may know everyone else. As such, simply knowing the person on trial is not enough to warrant recussal. However, if the judge or jury can BENEFIT from this relational, than recussal is expected.
