What is the test for peremptory challenges in civil cases?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Barber, 200 Cal.App.3d 378, 245 Cal.Rptr. 895 (Cal. App. 1988):

3 "[E]ven when there is no doubt of the prosecutor's good faith, the issue whether a given explanation constitutes a constitutionally permissible--i.e., nondiscriminatory--justification for the particular peremptory challenge remains a question of law." (People v. Turner (1986) 42 Cal.3d 711, 720, fn. 6, 230 Cal.Rptr. 656, 726 P.2d 102.)
