R.I. Super. Ct. R. Civ. P. 38

(a) Right Preserved. The right of trial by jury as

declared by Article I, Section 15 of the constitution of this state or as given by a

statute shall be preserved to the parties inviolate.

(b) Demand. Any party may demand a trial by jury of any issue triable of right

by a jury by:

(1) Serving upon the other parties a demand therefor in writing at any time after

the commencement of the action and not later than ten (10) days after the service of

the last pleading directed to such issue; and

(2) Filing the demand as required by Rule 5(d). Such demand may be indorsed

upon a pleading of the party.

(c) Specification of Issues. In the demand a party may specify the issues which

the party wishes so tried; otherwise the party shall be deemed to have demanded trial

by jury for all the issues so triable. If the party has demanded trial by jury for only

some of the issues, any other party within ten (10) days after service of the demand

or such lesser time as the court may order, may serve a demand for trial by jury of

any other or all of the issues of fact in the action.

(d) Waiver. The failure of a party to serve and file a demand as required by this

rule constitutes a waiver by the party of trial by jury. A demand for trial by jury

made as herein provided may not be withdrawn without consent of the parties.
