Batson v. Kentucky,476 U.S. 79 (1986),was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court ruling that a prosecutor's use of a peremptory challenge in a criminal case—the dismissal of jurors without stating a valid cause for doing so—may not be used to exclude jurors based solely on their race. The Court ruled that this practice violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The case gave rise to the term Batson challenge,an objection to a peremptory challenge based on the standard established by the Supreme Court's decision in this case. Subsequent jurisprudence has resulted in the extension of Batson to civil cases and cases where jurors are excluded on the basis of sex.

J. E. B. v. Alabama ex rel. T. B.,511 U.S. 127 (1994),was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States holding that peremptory challenges based solely on a prospective juror's sex are unconstitutional. J.E.B. extended the court's existing precedent in Batson v. Kentucky (1986),which found race-based peremptory challenges in criminal trials unconstitutional,and Edmonson v. Leesville Concrete Company (1991),which extended that principle to civil trials. As in Batson,the court found that sex-based challenges violate the Equal Protection Clause.
Georgia v. McCollum,505 U.S. 42 (1992),was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that a criminal defendant cannot make peremptory challenges based solely on race. The court had previously held in Batson v. Kentucky (1986) that prosecutors cannot make peremptory challenges based on race,but did not address whether defendants could use them. The court had already ruled in Edmonson v. Leesville Concrete Company (1991) that the Batson prohibition also applies to civil litigants because they are state actors during the jury selection process.

Davis v. Ayala,576 U.S. 257 (2015),was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States upheld a death sentence of a Hispanic defendant despite the fact that all Blacks and Hispanics were rejected from the jury during the defendant's trial. The case involved a habeas corpus petition submitted by Hector Ayala,who was arrested and tried in the late 1980s for the alleged murder of three individuals during an attempted robbery of an automobile body shop in San Diego,California in April 1985. At trial,the prosecution used peremptory challenges to strike all Black and Hispanic jurors who were available for jury service. The trial court judge allowed the prosecution to explain the basis for the peremptory challenges outside the presence of Ayala's counsel,"so as not to disclose trial strategy". Ayala was ultimately sentenced to death,but he filed several appeals challenging the constitutionality of the trial court's decision to exclude his counsel from the hearings.
Foster v. Chatman,578 U.S. ___ (2016),was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that the state law doctrine of res judicata does not preclude a Batson challenge against peremptory challenges if new evidence has emerged. The Court held the state courts' Batson analysis was subject to federal jurisdiction because "[w]hen application of a state law bar 'depends on a federal constitutional ruling,the state-law prong of the court’s holding is not independent of federal law,and our jurisdiction is not precluded,'" under Ake v. Oklahoma.
Powers v. Ohio,499 U.S. 400 (1991),was a United States Supreme Court case that re-examined the Batson Challenge. Established by Batson v. Kentucky,476 U.S. 79 (1986),the Batson Challenge prohibits jury selectors from using peremptory challenges on the basis of race,ethnicity,gender,and sex. Powers expanded the jurisdictions of this principle,allowing all parties within a case,defendants especially,to question preemptory challenges during a jury selection,regardless of race. This holding was protected under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
