Rule 6 Jury Demand
Rule Text
(a) MAKING A JURY DEMAND. Any party entitled to a jury trial may demand a trial by jury of any action by filing a jury demand, signed by the party or the party’s attorney of record. The demand must be filed no later than the date of the initial hearing, the date for the next hearing if the initial hearing is continued under Rule 11(b), or by a date set by the court for good cause, and must be accompanied by:
(1) the fee provided in Civil Rule 202, unless the court has authorized the party to proceed without payment or prepayment of costs; and
(2) a verified answer setting out the facts on which the defense is based, if the jury demand is made by the defendant.
(b) TRANSFERRING CASE TO CIVIL ACTIONS BRANCH. If a jury trial is properly demanded, the clerk must transfer the case to the Civil Actions Branch for an expedited trial.
