Challenge to the array

Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-000922

An objection to the entire panel of prospective jurors, known as the array, on the grounds that it was improperly selected or drawn. This challenge alleges a systemic defect in the jury selection process, rather than an issue with an individual juror. Such challenges are rarely successful but can lead to the dismissal of the entire jury pool.
