Here's an article that will give you the
overview,
in this case the rules for California state courts,
but you'll get
the idea. Look for keyword peremptory. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Yes but the judge is the only one who gets to rule on "cause".
That left the the parties with a limited number of peremptory challenges.
There were a number of jurors who held patents. As far as I can tell from the
transcript the prospective jurors removed by peremptory challenges was not
recorded.

Yes but she is the only one who gets to knock off all jurors
who seem biased. The other parties are limited in how many jurors they knock
off.
Given that the pool was such that the number of biased jurors would have been at
least three or four times as many as seen in a normal pool, it is almost
incumbent on her to interpret the criteria for cause as widely as she can not as
narrowly.
