Plain-English Summary
Section 14-10 sets the mechanics for claiming a jury trial. A party who wants one must put the claim in writing, serve it on every other party in the case, and file it with the clerk. The rule ties the filing window to General Statutes § 52-215, so the statute — not this section — controls how much time a party has to act.
The rule also requires payment of the jury claim fee at the moment the claim is filed. Filing and payment happen together; a claim isn’t complete until both are done.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I claim a jury trial in a Connecticut civil case?
File a written claim for the jury with the clerk, serve a copy on every other party, and pay the jury claim fee at the time you file, all within the deadline set by General Statutes § 52-215.
What is the deadline to claim a jury in Connecticut?
Section 14-10 does not set its own deadline — it points to General Statutes § 52-215, which governs the time allowed for filing a jury claim.

Yes. The jury claim fee is due at the same time the jury claim is filed with the clerk.
