"Motion to strike jury demand" means that one party has requested a jury trial and the other party is objecting to the request for a jury based on some ground, such as it may be the type of proceeding that a jury is not mandated or that the party asking for a jury has no right to ask for a jury in this manner.
A motion to strike is a request to a judge that part of a party's pleading or a piece of evidence be removed from the record. During the pleading stage, this can be accomplished by a tool such as Rule 12(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or a state equivalent.
If a juror has a bias, or there is some other reason why a juror cannot be fair and impartial, the judge may excuse that juror. These are called strikes, “for cause,” in that there was cause to dismiss the juror.
