Iowa R. Civ. P. 1.902
Demand for jury trial
1.902(1) Jury trial is waived if not demanded according to this rule; but a demand once filed may
not be withdrawn without consent of all parties not in default.
1.902(2) A party desiring a jury trial of an issue must make written demand therefor not later than
ten days after the last pleading directed to that issue. A jury demand may be made in the pleading of
a party and shall be noted in the caption. If filed separately with the petition, the jury demand shall be
served with the original notice and petition. If filed after the petition, the jury demand shall be served
and filed in accordance with rule 1.442.
1.902(3) Unless limited to a specific issue, every demand shall be deemed to include all issues
triable to a jury. If a limited demand is filed, any other party may, within ten days thereafter or such
shorter time as the court may order, file a demand for a jury trial of some or all other issues.
1.902(4) Notwithstanding the failure of a party to demand a jury in an action in which a demand
might have been made of right, the court, in its discretion on motion and for good cause shown, but
not ex parte, and upon such terms as the court prescribes, may order a trial by jury of any or all issues.
