limit the number of jurors who can be removed from a panel.

Might be helpful...is there no limit at this time? BTW where/what is the pool they draw jurors from? Not sure I understand where exactly selection begins and or who determines "potential" jurors before they begin the process with attorneys.

Each jurisdiction has its own procedures. For example, the rules for your local state court and your local federal court are likely to be vastly different. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are nation-wide for lawsuits in federal courts, but each state will have its own rules, code, or canons to follow.

Occasionally, public input on proposed rule changes are announced. This might be a good opportunity to put your two cents’ worth in, if you have a concrete reform, or a question you can’t seem to get answered any other way. You might also want to see your state representative, since they’re the ones who have to vote to approve changes.
