Statutes
"Waiver of jury trial in Oregon civil cases is in the state's court rules at UTCR 6.13. It provides:
No waiver of trial by jury in civil cases in circuit court shall be deemed to have occurred unless the parties notify the court of such a waiver before 5:00 p.m. of the last judicial day before trial. Thereafter, a jury trial may not be waived without the consent of the court. Failure to timely notify the court of a waiver before the day of trial may result in an assessment by the judge on one or both of the parties for the per diem fee and mileage costs of bringing in the jury panel for that trial."
Cases
Oregon has enforced some jury trial waivers in cases that do not involve lenders or leasing companies. Such waivers are commonly used in loan and lease documents in Oregon.
