Re: Jury Demand
You can see whether the Plaintiff would agree and if so, file an agreed order. If not, file and set a hearing date for a Motion asking for leave to file a jury demand. Research cases concerning jury demands and filing after the appearance and answer date and state in your motion reasons that your researc hhas found are acceptable to the court and that fit your fact pattern.
