§ 657 Challenges for cause classified.

When picking a jury, both sides can ask the judge to remove a specific juror. This is called a "challenge for cause," and it comes in two types.

The first type is a general challenge. This means the juror should not be allowed to serve on any case at all. Maybe they don't meet the basic legal requirements to be a juror, like being a certain age or a resident of the area.

The second type is a particular challenge. This means the juror might be fine for other cases, but something about this specific case makes them a bad fit. For example, they might know one of the people involved, or they might have a personal connection to the situation that would make it hard for them to be fair.
