Rule 38.02. Waiver

    In actions arising on contract, and by permission of the court in other actions, any party thereto may waive a jury trial by:

    (a) failing to appear at the trial;

    (b) written consent, by the party or the party's attorney, filed with the court administrator; or

    (c) oral consent in open court, entered in the minutes.

    Neither the failure to file any document requesting a jury trial nor the failure to pay a jury fee shall be deemed a waiver of the right to a jury trial.
