FAQ

Peremptory - Each side in a case has a certain number of challenges that can be used without giving a reason. These are called "peremptory" challenges. Each side may ask the judge to excuse particular jurors. If a juror is excused, this does not imply something bad and does not mean the juror is not competent.

In California, for most cases the number of peremptory challenges available to each lawyer is ten so long as there is one defendant. For death penalty or life imprisonment cases where a single defendant is involved, each attorney is permitted 20 peremptory challenges.

Neither side will have more than eight peremptory challenges regardless of the number of parties on that side. See Tennessee Code Annotated § 22-3-105.

If the offense charged is punishable by death, each side is entitled to 20 peremptory challenges. If the offense charged is punishable by imprisonment for more than one year, the government is entitled to 6 peremptory challenges and the defendant or defendants jointly to 10 peremptory challenges.

In criminal cases, parties may challenge jurors for cause during jury selection (for example, when a juror expresses an inability to be fair and impartial) or may use a certain number of peremptory challenges to remove jurors without cause.

RULE 38. In cases removed by appeal or otherwise to the chancery or circuit courts or to courts of similar jurisdiction, any party may demand a trial by jury of any issue triable of right by jury by filing written demand for jury trial within ten (10) days after the papers are filed with the clerk.
