jury waiver provision

A jury waiver provision is a contractual provision by which one or both of the parties agree to waive the right to have a jury trial, replacing it with a bench trial as the default process to resolve disputes under the contract.

Additional Information


Jury waiver provisions are frequently included in contracts because jury trials can be time-consuming and expensive. Furthermore, juries are perceived as more likely than judges to make extremely large damages awards.
