A peremptory challenge for jury section allows a party to reject a certain number of potential jurors without stating a reason. During trial jury selection in civil cases, “each party shall be entitled to six peremptory challenges.” Code Civ. Proc., § 231(c).
“A party shall not use a peremptory challenge to remove a prospective juror on the basis of an assumption that the prospective juror is biased merely because of a characteristic listed or defined in Section 11135 of the Government Code, or similar grounds.” Code Civ. Proc., § 231.5.
“Peremptory challenges shall be taken or passed by the sides alternately, commencing with the plaintiff or people, and each party shall be entitled to have the panel full before exercising any peremptory challenge. When each side passes consecutively, the jury shall then be sworn, unless the court, for good cause, shall otherwise order. The number of peremptory challenges remaining with a side shall not be diminished by any passing of a peremptory challenge.” Code Civ. Proc., § 231(d).
“If there are more than two parties, the court shall, for the purpose of allotting peremptory challenges, divide the parties into two or more sides according to their respective interests in the issues. Each side shall be entitled to eight peremptory challenges. If there are several parties on a side, the court shall divide the challenges among them as nearly equally as possible. If there are more than two sides, the court shall grant such additional peremptory challenges to a side as the interests of justice may require, provided that the peremptory challenges of one side shall not exceed the aggregate number of peremptory challenges of all other sides. If any party on a side does not use his or her full share of peremptory challenges, the unused challenges may be used by the other party or parties on the same side.” Code Civ. Proc., § 231(c).

A pass by one side does not use a challenge nor does it establish that the remaining jurors are immune from peremptory challenge. If the box cannot be filled due to challenges, additional names will be called for the six pack. Voir dire will then go forward as to the newly-called prospective jurors only, after which the court will go through the cause procedure (as to the newly called jurors only) and then peremptory challenges, which can be made against any juror in the box.

While Plaintiff vigorously argues Californias relationship to the litigation, and the number of Robinson employees in the community and jury pool, those employees would likely be excused from jury service for cause or peremptory challenge. Would a prospective Los Angeles County juror have a relationship to a case where foreign nationals have traveled half-way around the world to use California courts to seek recovery for injuries sustained in New Zealand?
