Notation of "Jury Demand" on Pleading

D. Neb. Local Rule 38.1

If a party demands a jury trial by including it on a pleading, as Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 38(b) allows, a notation must be on the front page and immediately after the title of the pleading, stating "Demand for Jury Trial" or the equivalent. This notation serves as a sufficient demand under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 38(b). Failure to use this manner of noting the demand does not result in a waiver under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 38(d). Regarding jury trials in removed Effective December 1, 2025 Nebraska Civil Rules cases, see Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 81(c)(3).
