All-white jury
An all-white jury is an American situation where a jury in a criminal trial or grand jury investigation is composed only of white people. Often, the implication of invoking such a makeup is that the deliberations may not be fair and unbiased. Racial discrimination in jury selection has a long history in the United States.〔
==Current precedent and legal challenges==
Under the legal standard set forth by the United States Supreme Court in ''Batson v. Kentucky'', the striking of a juror on account of race denies a defendant equal protection under the constitution. However the court held that a defendant is not entitled to a jury containing or lacking members of any particular race, and the striking of jurors for race-neutral reasons is permissible. This standard has been extended to civil trials in ''Edmonson v. Leesville Concrete Company'' and on the basis of gender in ''J.E.B. v. Alabama ex rel. T.B.''
