RULE 48. NUMBER OF JURORS--VERDICT

    Where as many as nine out of twelve jurors in a civil case agree upon a verdict, the verdict shall be returned as the verdict of such jury. The parties may, however, stipulate that a jury shall consist of any number less than twelve and that a verdict or finding of a stated majority thereof shall be taken as the verdict or finding of the jury. In any case where a verdict is less than unanimous, all jurors consenting to such verdict shall sign the same. If the verdict is unanimous, then the foreman only shall sign.
