Question

Jack Knighton is an employee of PRG Consulting. He has been called for jury duty. One of PRG’s clients is Renar Corporation. Renar is the defendant in the case for which Jack has been called for the jury panel. The attorney for the plaintiff who is suing Renar: a. could have Jack struck from the panel for cause. b. cannot have Jack struck just because his company has the defendant as a client. c. has no recourse because the jury is a wild card in litigation. d. none of the above

Answer 1

a. could have Jack struck from the panel for cause.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to conflict of interests, there could be the removal of Jack from the panel. The issue of conflict of interests could lead to a wrong decision because Jack will be distracted. He would want a situation that will make his company gain rather than a situation that justice would be served. Therefore, option a is correct.
