JURY SELECTION PROCESS
A. Peremptory jury challenges shall be exercised as follows:
1. The court shall consider all challenges for cause before the parties are required

having considered the jury in the order in which they appear, having exercised
any peremptory challenges desired.

exercise any peremptory challenge(s) to that panel.

plaintiff shall then be required to again tender to the defendant a full panel of
accepted jurors.

procedure set forth above for selecting the jury panel.
