Question

if an attorney does not wish an individual to be on a jury, she might use what to exclude the person?

Answer 1

Peremptory challenge

Step-by-step explanation:

According to my textbook...

"When choosing a jury, the lawyers for both the prosecution and defense are guided by three ideals. A juror has to meet the minimum qualifications, such as living in the required jurisdiction and be of legal age. They also look for jurors who will be impartial when hearing the case. Finally, they seek to gain information about each juror in order to spot potential biases or 'causes' for them to exclude the individual from the jury. Each side has a particular number of peremptory challenges or objections to a juror for which no reason has to be offered."

Answer 2

Peremptory challenge

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of peremptory challenge is used in judging judges. This is the procedure used to reject future jurors without reason. Each party has allowed a restricted number of peremptory challenges.

The peremptory challenge is justified on the grounds that, if both parties have contributed to the jury, the jury may issue an impartial verdict.

For some jurists, the peremptory challenges jeopardize the balanced representation of the juror, which could be obtained from random selection. In any case, many jurisdictions remain in favor of the peremptory challenge as they consider it possible to set up favorable jurors.
