Voir Dire, or jury selection. When attorneys choose a jury, a panel is seated, and the attorneys question the jurors about their backgrounds and biases. Each side takes turn striking members from the panel in order to form the jury. Attorneys use their limited premptory strikes to strike a juror for any (unstated) reason. A juror will be struck for cause if the court finds that the juror is unable to be unbiased. The challenge for cause means the attorney is asking the court to find that the juror is unable to serve, and that he be struck and not counted against the limited number of strikes.
