Can I have a jury trial in a small claims court case?

No, you cannot have a jury trial in a small claims court case in Colorado. Small claims court is a simplified court system designed to handle disputes over a relatively small amount of money, typically $7,500 or less in Colorado. Instead of a jury trial, there is an informal hearing where both parties present evidence and make their case. This can involve telling your story, presenting witnesses, and bringing documents. The judge assigned to the case will listen to both sides and make a decision based on the law and evidence presented at the hearing. The hearing usually takes place within a few weeks, so it is a much faster process than a full jury trial.
