Can I receive a jury trial in Magistrate Court?

Yes, you are entitled to a jury trial if requested in a timely manner and in writing. A jury trial request should include your current mailing address and phone number, and the name of your attorney if one is representing you. Jury trial request forms are available at each Magistrate’s office or you may write your own request.
