SD Codified L § 15-14-10 (2013) What's This?

15-14-10. Procedure for peremptory challenges--Replacement of jurors challenged. After the panel is filled the parties shall exercise their peremptory challenges. A list of the jurors in the panel shall be made by the clerk and passed first to the plaintiff and then to the defendant, or their respective counsel, and the parties shall exercise their peremptory challenges by crossing out the name of the juror they desire to challenge and noting thereafter that such challenge has been exercised by the plaintiff or defendant, as the case may be. When a peremptory challenge is exercised it shall be announced by the party or attorney exercising it; but the name of the juror challenged need not be announced. Thereupon and before further challenges are exercised, the clerk shall draw another juror and he may be examined for cause and challenges for cause made. The parties shall proceed alternately, exercising their peremptory challenges until the same are exhausted and the jurors then remaining in the box shall be sworn as jurors to try the case.
