Document Summary

Can take final on last day of classes or during final exam week. If you are satisfied with your grade you are done by thanksgiving. Have to drop lowest final exam or test grade. Trial jury is known as a pedite jury. When selecting a jury, a blind man or a child under age 6 draws a jury. This is the law, but never used unless requested. We challenge or strike them to keep them off jury. Reason you are getting rid of potential juror. Must present potential bias for why the juror would discriminate against client. For every trial you get a certain number of them that you (cid:272)a(cid:374) use. No reaso(cid:374) for (cid:271)ias (cid:455)ou just do(cid:374)"t (cid:449)a(cid:374)t the(cid:373).
