KENTUCKY RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
RULE 39 TRIAL BY JURY OR BY THE COURT

CR 39.01 BY JURY

     When trial by jury has been demanded as provided in Rule 38, the action shall be designated upon the docket as a jury action. The trial of all issues so demanded shall be by jury, unless (a) the parties or their attorneys of record, by written stipulation filed with the court or by an oral stipulation made in open court and entered in the record, consent to trial by the court sitting without a jury, or (b) the court upon motion or of its own initiative finds that a right of trial by jury of some or all of the issues does not exist under the Constitution or Statutes of Kentucky.

[Amended by Order 96-1, eff. 1-1-97; prior amendment eff. 1-1-78; adopted eff. 7-1-53]

CR 39.02 BY THE COURT

     Issues not demanded for trial by jury as provided in Rule 38 shall be tried by the court; but, notwithstanding the failure of a party to demand a jury in an action in which such a demand might have been made out of right, the court in its discretion upon motion may order a trial by jury of any or all issues.

[Adopted eff. 7-1-53]

CR 39.03 ADVISORY JURY AND TRIAL BY CONSENT

     In all actions not triable of right by a jury the court upon motion or of its own initiative may try any issue with an advisory jury; or the court, with the consent of all parties noted of record, may order a trial with a jury whose verdict has the same effect as if trial by jury had been a matter of right.

[Amended eff. 7-1-69; adopted eff. 7-1-53]
