NOTATION OF “JURY DEMAND” IN THE PLEADING

If a party elects to demand a jury trial by endorsing it on a pleading, as permitted by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 38(b)(1), a notation must be placed on the front page of the pleading, immediately following the title of the pleading, stating “Demand For Jury Trial” or an equivalent statement. This notation will serve as a sufficient demand under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 38(b). Failure to use this manner of noting the demand will not result in a waiver under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 38(d).
