- Title
NEGOTIATING PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES.
- Authors
MORRISON, CAREN MYERS
- Abstract
The article discusses the legal aspects of negotiating peremptory challenges (PCs) which allow litigants to remove otherwise qualified prospective jurors from a jury panel without any showing of cause as of January 2014, focusing on the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the 1986 case Batson v. Kentucky which deals with remedies for race- and gender-related abuses of the PC process. According to the article, negotiating PCs could protect the rights of excluded jurors and preserve party autonomy. Human behavior and the motivations of attorneys are also examined.
