When a jury trial has been demanded under K.S.A. 60-238, and amendments thereto, the action must be designated on the docket as a jury action. The trial on all issues so demanded must be by jury unless:\n(1) The parties or their attorneys file a stipulation to a nonjury trial, or so stipulate on the record; or\n(2) the court, on motion, or on its own, finds that on some or all of those issues there is no right to a jury trial under the Kansas constitution or statutes.\n(b) When no demand is made. Issues on which a jury trial is not properly demanded are to be tried by the court. But the court may, on motion, order a jury trial on any issue for which a jury might have been demanded.\n(c) Advisory jury; jury trial by consent. In an action not triable of right by jury, the court, on motion, or on its own:\n(1) May try any issue with an advisory jury; or\n(2) may, with the parties' consent, try any issue by a jury whose verdict has the same effect as if a jury trial had been a matter of right, unless the action is against the state and a state statute provides for a nonjury trial.","path":["Chapter 60.—PROCEDURE, CIVIL","Article 2.—RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE"],"source_url":"https://www.ksrevisor.gov/statutes/chapters/ch60/060_002_0039.html","current_through":"2025 legislative session","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-10-15T06:21:56Z","sha256":"d7c3b61fbf553f9128088b35edb55a45b7d8558469b7bd557a555599a0550f8e","source_id":"us-ks","stale":false,"prev":"us-ks/k.s.a.-60-238","next":"us-ks/k.s.a.-60-240"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
