A litigant must justify the removal of a juror due to disqualifying factors in which type of challenge?

• A. For Cause
• B. Peremptory
• C. Voir Dire
• D. Mistrial

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that when a juror must be removed because they have a disqualifying bias or factor, a for-cause challenge is used. This type requires you to show a specific reason—such as obvious bias, a close relationship to a party, or an inability to be impartial—that would prevent fair deliberation. The judge then decides whether that reason is sufficient to excuse the juror.

Peremptory challenges, by contrast, do not require any justification; they allow removal for non-discriminatory reasons within limits. Voir dire is the process of questioning potential jurors to uncover biases and determine who to challenge. Mistrial is not related to removing jurors; it ends the trial with no verdict.
