right to jury trial

    0.03 sec.
jury trial, right to

This is because of rules with their roots in English courts dating back to the time of the Norman invasion in 1066. Before making any litigation decisions based on what you think a jury of your peers would decide, be sure to see if you are entitled to a jury.
