FAQ
Demand: A party may demand a jury trial on any issue triable of right by a jury by serving the other parties with a written demand, which must be filed no later than 14 days after the last pleading directed to the issue. This demand must be specific about the issues that the party wants tried by a jury.
A motion to strike is a request to a judge that part of a party's pleading or a piece of evidence be removed from the record. During the pleading stage, this can be accomplished by a tool such as Rule 12(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or a state equivalent.
"Motion to strike jury demand" means that one party has requested a jury trial and the other party is objecting to the request for a jury based on some ground, such as it may be the type of proceeding that a jury is not mandated or that the party asking for a jury has no right to ask for a jury in this manner.
Everyone is inconvenienced to some degree by jury service, but for the system to work, people from all walks of life must be willing to serve. Those who refuse to complete the juror questionnaire or refuse to appear when called to serve are subject to fines and jail time for contempt of court.
If a juror has a bias, or there is some other reason why a juror cannot be fair and impartial, the judge may excuse that juror. These are called strikes, “for cause,” in that there was cause to dismiss the juror.
Q5: What Happens if a Motion to Strike is Granted? If granted, the court will order the removal of the specified parts from the pleading. This can lead to a narrowing of the issues in the case or, in some instances, weaken the opposing party's position significantly.
Typically, a plaintiff will make its demand in the complaint filed at the outset of the case, and a defendant usually will make its demand in an answer to the complaint. If either party asks for a jury, the trial will be by jury.
Answer: Any juror who fails to report for jury duty and who is not excused by the court may be served with a show cause order by the U.S. Marshal. Subsequently, those jurors will be required to appear in court to show cause why they should not be held in contempt of the Jury Selection Act.
Failure to return the questionnaire will cause you to be summoned to court. Failure to respond to the summons may lead to your arrest and imposition of a fine or costs.
