A quick definition of fixed opinion:

A fixed opinion is when someone has made up their mind about something and won't change it, even if they hear new information. It's like when you decide you don't like a food before you even try it, and no matter how good it might actually be, you still won't eat it. In a court, a fixed opinion can make someone unable to be a fair juror.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A bias or prejudice that disqualifies a potential juror.

Example: During jury selection, a potential juror expresses a strong belief that all people of a certain race are guilty of crimes. This is a fixed opinion that would disqualify them from serving on the jury.

Explanation: A fixed opinion is a preconceived notion or bias that prevents someone from being impartial in a given situation. In the example, the potential juror's belief about a certain race would prevent them from being fair and impartial in a trial involving a person of that race. This type of bias is not allowed in the legal system and can disqualify someone from serving on a jury or participating in other legal proceedings.
