California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from City of Moorpark v. Superior Court, 49 Cal.App.4th 973, 57 Cal.Rptr.2d 156 (Cal. App. 1996):

In judicial proceedings, parties have the right to a jury trial. (Cal. Const., art. I, 16; Wharton v. Superior Court (1991) 231 Cal.App.3d 100, 282 Cal.Rptr. 349.) In workers' compensation proceedings, no such option exists.
