true, they can request the judge to decide, in small claims you have to request a jury
In most cases, you have the right to a trial by jury, but this is not a requirement. In a criminal case, if the defendant opts to have a bench trial, there will be no jury. In a civil case, if neither party requests a jury, it will be a bench trial.

A party!? No.
A ___________ is a court-appointed party who conducts a private trial and renders a judgment
The last formal hearing immediately before the jury trial... is likely to be the prelimanary hearing, unless your attorney starts bombarding the court with motion hearings and requests for pre-trial release.
There are two special cases that start trial in the United States Supreme Court. Cases involving foreign officials and cases in which a state is a party originate in the Supreme Court.
In the United States, the criminal trial comes first, then comes the civil trial. (In some states, such as North Carolina, civil penalties can be accessed at the criminal trial.)
The pre-trial procedure by which one party gains information held by the other party is called discovery. This process allows parties to request documents, ask questions, and gather evidence from each other to prepare for trial. Discovery helps ensure a fair and efficient resolution of the case.
No, it is only a "speedy trial" violation if you are taken into custody.
Under "speedy trial" rules generally the prosecution must begin within 90 days of arrest. But this is subject to MANY things, not the least of which is the defense waiving the right to speedy trial in order for them to prepare more adequately for the trial process. Any requests for waiver of "speedy" whether requested by, or granted by, the defense extends the trial date by the amount of time agreed upon. Added: Many states require the defendant (or defense attorney) to file a formal speedy trial demand before such time constraints take effect.
Yes a party can waive the right to a jury trial and let the judge make the decision. In many states, in civil cases, you must request a jury in your initial pleading or you automatically waive your right to a jury.
When it comes to a tupperware party, the best training is to just do it. There is no formal training in order to host a tupperware party. Most people who host a party gained the experience that they have by trial and error. After the first party, knowledge will be gained as to what works and what needs to be changed. Again it is trial and error.
