Under the struck method, the court qualifies enough jurors to accommodate all peremptory challenges, then parties exercise strikes against the qualified panel. The remaining jurors are seated in order.
It contrasts with strike and replace systems.
Alternative Names:
Strike and Replace, Struck System
Why it Matters?
The method affects strike strategy substantially, since a party striking against a fully known panel can allocate strikes with complete information, while strike and replace requires deciding without knowing who will fill the seat. Confirming which system the court uses before selection determines how the strike plan should be built. Simultaneous exercise also prevents reacting to the opponent's strikes.
