In most cases yes you have a right to a jury trial. One exception is if you are a juvenile being tried in Family Court.

Its hard to answer your question without knowing what you received the summons for. I'm assuming that what you have is a ticket. If so, then you are probably entitled to a jury trial. But its necessary to know what the summons is for.
You can respond to my email directly if you want to. Its [email protected]
Please refer to this question so I know who you are.
Thank you.
