What are reasons to not have or to request a jury for trial?
Parties in a trial may agree to have a non-jury trial but in the event that this is not the case, parties may exercise their constitutional right to a jury (where such a right exists). But whether or not a jury trial is beneficial or even logical must first be considered before deciding to request a jury for trial. Let us look at some relevant factors: i) Technical Issues: Where the issue is a highly technical one or the facts of the case are such that a large amount of technical knowledge is required to understand the case well, a jury may prove detrimental. If it's a case related to technology or some highly specialized medical or scientific issues are in question, then both parties may desire to settle it amongst them-selves or with a non-jury trial. Certain cases may be such that almost all evidence will be by specialized experts who may not be understood by jurors thus leading to incorrect findings by juries. There are a greater number of retired people and housewives in the jury pool and a great absence of businesspeople and professionals who would have been better for technical or business cases. ii) Judges' tendencies: Where the judge's tendencies are known in a case and a party knows that the probability of the judge deciding against him are high, the party may feel that it would be better for them to "put their fate" in a jury. Where the most probable outcome with a particular judge, is unfavorable, a jury trial may be an option to be considered most strongly as in this event at least, the chances may be even again. iii) Juries biases or prejudices: There are certain aspects to be considered when deciding on whether or not to opt for a jury. So far as a plaintiff is concerned, if there are against a big corporation, a jury trial may go in their favor as juries tend to side with the "little guy". Also many statistics indicate that juries are biased against CEOs of companies in the aspect that they consider CEOs as being highly likely to cover up wrong doings of their companies. Statistics also indicate that defendants who are tobacco or gun companies are at a disadvantage when it comes to a jury trial. Thus, only after taking into consideration the various aspects of the case, should a party decide on whether or not to request a jury for trial.
