challenge to the array

Read a random definition: blackacre

A quick definition of challenge to the array:

A challenge to the array is when someone tries to disqualify an entire group of people who were chosen to be on a jury. This happens when the selection process was not fair and did not follow the rules for picking people who are unbiased and represent a diverse group of people from the community. For example, if the jurors were not chosen in a public way like they were supposed to be, someone might challenge the array.

A more thorough explanation:

A challenge to the array is a legal term that means a challenge to the entire group of people who have been selected for jury duty. This challenge is made when someone believes that the selection process was unfair or violated the rules for selecting jurors.

For example, if a lawyer believes that the jurors were not selected from a fair cross-section of the community, they may make a challenge to the array. This could happen if the jurors were all from the same neighborhood or if certain groups of people were excluded from the selection process.

Another reason for a challenge to the array could be if the jurors were not selected in a way that was publicly visible, as required by law. This means that the selection process was not open to the public, and therefore could have been influenced by outside factors.

Overall, a challenge to the array is a way to ensure that the jury selection process is fair and impartial, and that the jurors who are selected are representative of the community as a whole.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
