RULE CR 38
                       JURY TRIAL OF RIGHT


(-)  Defined. A trial is the judicial examination of the issues
     between the parties, whether they are issues of law or of fact.

(a)  Right of Jury Trial Preserved. The right of trial by jury as
     declared by article 1, section 21 of the constitution or as
     given by a statute shall be preserved to the parties inviolate.

(b)  Demand for Jury. At or prior to the time the case is called
     to be set for trial, any party may demand a trial by jury of
     any issue triable of right by a jury by serving upon the
     other parties a demand therefor in writing, by filing the
     demand with the clerk, and by paying the jury fee required
     by law. If before the case is called to be set for trial no
     party serves or files a demand that the case be tried by a
     jury of twelve, it shall be tried by a jury of six members
     with the concurrence of five being required to reach a verdict.

(c)  Specification of Issues. In his demand a party may specify
     the issues which he wishes so tried; otherwise he shall be
     deemed to have demanded trial by jury for all the issues so
     triable. If he has demanded trial by jury for only some of
     the issues, any other party within 10 days after service of
     the demand or such lesser time as the court may order, may
     serve a demand for trial by jury of any other or all of the
     issues of fact in the action.

(d)  Waiver of Jury. The failure of a party to serve a demand as
     required by this rule, to file it as required by this rule,
     and to pay the jury fee required by law in accordance with
     this rule, constitutes a waiver by him of trial by jury. A
     demand for trial by jury made as herein provided may not be
     withdrawn without the consent of the parties.
