Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The attorney for the plaintiff could have Jack struck from the panel for cause because he has a direct personal interest in the outcome of the case due to his employment with PRG Consulting, which has a client involved in the case. This could potentially create bias in his judgment. The fact that PRG's client is Renar Corporation only strengthens the plaintiff's case for having Jack struck from the panel.
