Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following best describes the concept of "peremptory challenge"?

It requires a reason for juror dismissal

It allows dismissal of jurors without a stated reason

The concept of "peremptory challenge" refers to a legal mechanism that allows attorneys to dismiss potential jurors without the need to provide a justification or reason for their dismissal. This means that during the jury selection process, one side can choose to exclude a certain number of jurors simply based on their discretion, for any reason or even no reason at all. This enables attorneys to shape the jury in a way that they believe will be more favorable to their case.

In contrast, other methods of challenging jurors, such as for cause challenges, do require the attorney to articulate specific reasons related to the juror's bias or conflict of interest, making the peremptory challenge distinctly different. Thus, the correct answer captures the essence of peremptory challenges in the jury selection process: the authority to dismiss jurors freely and without explanation.
