An attorney might utilize peremptory challenges primarily to remove a potential juror who exhibits prejudice or bias. Peremptory challenges allow attorneys to exclude jurors without providing a reason, and they are often used to dismiss jurors who the attorney believes may not be favorable to their case. While using peremptory challenges based on gender or race is prohibited by law (to prevent discriminatory practices), questioning the potential juror's biases or prejudices is a strategic part of trial preparation.
