`1`Peremptory Challenges `2` "Legal Lexicon":
PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES - Limited number of challenges each side in a trial can use to eliminate potential jurors without stating a reason. May not be used to keep members of a particular race or sex off the jury. Most states also allow the parties to a case to dismiss the judge assigned to the case without having to prove actual bias. Called a peremptory challenge, this right may usually only be exercised once by a party in any given case. |
