W.D. Mo. L.R. 47.1
Challenge to Jury Panel
(a) Applicability. This Rule applies only to civil actions.
(b) Generally. Each party is entitled to 3 peremptory challenges. If there are multiple
plaintiffs or defendants, the Court may either:
1. Consider all plaintiffs or all defendants to be a single party for the purpose of
exercising peremptory challenges; or
2. Allow additional peremptory challenges and permit the parties to exercise
them separately or jointly.
(c) Requesting Additional Peremptory Challenges. If a party wants additional
peremptory challenges, it must file a motion at least 30 days before the date of trial
setting. Failure to timely file such a motion is deemed a waiver of the right to request
additional peremptory challenges. If the Court grants the motion, it must notify the
Clerk, who will arrange for adding to the panel the additional jurors necessary to
provide for the peremptory challenges allowed.
