N.D. Cal. Civil L.R. 3-6
Jury Demand
A party may demand a jury trial as provided in Fed. R. Civ. P. 38(b). When a demand for jury
trial is included in a pleading, the demand must be set forth at the end of the pleading. When
the demand is made by a party who is represented by counsel, the pleading must be signed by
the attorney for the party making the demand. In the caption of such pleading, immediately
following the title of the pleading, the following must appear: “DEMAND FOR JURY
TRIAL.”
History
Commentary See Wall v. Nat’l R.R. Passenger Corp., 718 F.2d 906, 909 (9th Cir. 1983) (holding that “checking the jury demand box on the civil cover sheet is insufficient to meet the requirements of rule 38(b)”).
