Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Minnesota
Assuming a civil court action, I understand that it can be tried "in equity" or "in law",
in Minnesota if it is "in law" then the constitution assures a trial by jury.
But in this case no option of trial by jury has been given or allowed,
so the case must be going forward "in equity"
I am guessing.
What does a person have to do to get the case back "in law" ?
so they can get a trial by jury ?
please help

I hate to say this, but you need the assistance of any attorney. There may be a statute that mandates a court trial, there could be a waiver of the jury trial, the court could be waiting for the jury fee, or any number of other reasons why there is no jury. You really need a competent advocate here who knows how to try a case.
