- brewdad 4y agoThey will if you go into court and act like a smug asshole. Also, bench trials with only a judge are very much a thing in the US.
- wanderingmind 4y agoNot if you request a jury trial. A jury trial is a constitutional right under sixth amendment
- colejohnson66 4y agoOnly for criminal cases. Not civil, which these cases could be.
- UIUC_06 4y agoI'm not saying that's wrong, but I know that many or most patent infringement cases are tried in front of a jury. There are no criminal charges in those. So in at least some civil cases, one side can request a jury trial. I'm not sure in which ones.
- colejohnson66 4y agoYes. A jury trial can always be requested by either side. However, it’s up to the judge (or appeals courts) if the request is granted. The high stakes ones (that you hear about on the news) tend to have the request granted. My point was that they are only guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment for criminal trials. My wording wasn’t particularly clear about that.
