What is challenge for cause?
A challenge for cause is a legal procedure used during jury selection to disqualify a potential juror based on specific biases or inability to serve impartially. Unlike a peremptory challenge, which allows a party to dismiss a juror without stating a reason, a challenge for cause requires the party to provide a valid justification, such as a conflict of interest or a preconceived opinion about the case. The judge ultimately decides whether to grant the challenge. This process ensures that the jury remains fair and unbiased.
What does the court term challenge for cause refer to?
Voir Dire, or jury selection. When attorneys choose a jury, a panel is seated, and the attorneys question the jurors about their backgrounds and biases. Each side takes turn striking members from the panel in order to form the jury. Attorneys use their limited premptory strikes to strike a juror for any (unstated) reason. A juror will be struck for cause if the court finds that the juror is unable to be unbiased. The challenge for cause means the attorney is asking the court to find that the juror is unable to serve, and that he be struck and not counted against the limited number of strikes.
When an attorney asks the court to dismiss a juror without reason?
This is a "peremptory challenge." Court rules usually give each attorney a limited number of peremptory challenges. The other type of challenge is a challenge for cause, meaning there is some good cause for dismissing the juror. Cause can mean being related to or knowing one of the parties, being opposed to the death penalty in capital cases or anything that will prevent a juror from freely and fairly rendering a just verdict in the case at hand. Court rules give an unlimited number of challenges for cause.
What is the criteria for the use of peremptory challenge?
When selecting a jury, either party can make an unlimited number of challenges to potential jurors for cause. For example, if a proposed juror was a the brother of the defendant, the juror would be challenged the judge would excuse the juror because it would be unfair to have him on the jury. To challenge a proposed juror for cause, the party has to tell the judge why it would be unfair to seat that juror and the judge may accept or reject the challenge. Each party also has a set number of peremptory challenges, the party excludes the juror without cause and the judge has no say. For example, if the defendant is a school teacher, you might not want another school teacher to be on the jury but you don't have any evidence that it would be unfair. While there are few limits to peremptory challenges, they cannot be used to create a discriminatory jury. For example, if the defendant is Hispanic, you cannot use all of your peremptory challenges to eliminate all the potential Hispanic jurors.
What is difference between peremptory challenge and removal for cause?
A peremptory challenge allows an attorney to remove a potential juror without providing a reason, while a removal for cause requires showing that a juror is unfit to serve based on a specific reason. Peremptory challenges are limited in number, while removals for cause can be requested without limit for valid reasons.
When a defense attorney thinks that the jury pool is biased in some significant way he or she will make a challenge of?
When a defense attorney believes the jury pool is biased, they will typically make a challenge for cause. This challenge requests that the court dismiss a potential juror based on specific biases or prejudices that may affect their impartiality. If the judge agrees, that juror is removed from the pool. The attorney may also use peremptory challenges to exclude jurors without stating a reason, but these are limited in number.
