The South Carolina Jury Selection Plan is the process and procedure used to select jurors for jury trials in the state of South Carolina. The plan is recognized by the South Carolina Supreme Court and is designed to ensure an impartial and representative jury. The plan is based on the "one-day/one-trial" system which requires that jurors serve for a single day or a single trial. There are two main types of South Carolina Jury Selection Plan, the Master Jury List Selection Plan and the Random Selection Plan. The Master Jury List Selection Plan is used for state and federal trials and requires that all potential jurors be placed on a master list. This list is then used to randomly select a panel of jurors for each trial. The Random Selection Plan is used for county trials and involves randomly selecting jurors from the county's voter registration list. The South Carolina Jury Selection Plan also provides for the use of peremptory challenges, challenges for cause, and challenges to the array. Peremptory challenges allow attorneys to exclude a certain number of potential jurors from consideration without giving a reason. Challenges for cause allow attorneys to exclude jurors who may have a bias or other reason to be excluded from serving. Challenges to the array allow attorneys to challenge the entire jury array if they feel that it is not representative of the local population.
