- Authors
REVESZ, JOSHUA
- Abstract
The article looks at the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case Batson v. Kentucky which limit the problems of peremptory challenges by constraining parties' ability to strike jurors because of their race. It mentions that demographic profiling remains a principal strategy during voir dire and roles of ideology and race in the jury-selection process. It also mentions that bias disadvantages certain litigants from tort plaintiffs to criminal defendants.
