My complaint clearly states my request for a jury trial. The court just set the case for a bench trial. I don't want a bench trial, I want a trial by jury. This is an impermissible purpose FCRA case. Do I file an objection into the case and demand a jury trial?
Optional Information: Country relating to Question: United States State (if USA): Arkansas
Did you pay your jury fee?
Hmmm didn't know there was one. Wasn't asked to pay one. Filed Informa Pauperis. Another previous case for same violation was sent to jury without me paying anything.
Let me check something. I'll be back in a little while.
I apologize, when I first read your question I thought it was a Texas question but after getting the rule number I looked again and now it is saying Arkansas. I'm not sure if I just misread it or if there was a glitch.I am familiar with both states, but just so we're clear, are you asking about Arkansas or Texas?
Arkansas.
All right. Sorry for the confusion. Arkansas doesn't require the jury fee, they just require that a request be made in writing. My guess is that the judge just missed your request, since normally the request is either made at the end of a petition in a separate paragraph or in a completely separate document.At this point you would need to file an "Objection to Bench Trial" and in that objection attach a copy of your petition as an exhibit and specifically reference the page and paragraph in which the request was made.Thank you for allowing me to assist you.

Experience: Began practicing law in 1992
From the penny wise and pound foolish department - the complaint that has the last paragraph "Demand for Jury Trial Plaintiff hereby demands a trial by jury of all issues so triable as a matter of law" is 17 pages. I'm not allowed to file electronically and there are 3 defendants to mail to. Am I required to send the exhibit to all the defendants (I'll send it to the Court) or can I just send the Objection, referencing the Exhibit (which is available electronically). Just trying to save some dough but I don't want to lose the objection because I didn't follow protocol.
You can just reference it without attaching the petition but don't attach it to any if you don't want to attach it to all.Thank you for allowing me to assist you.
