No. In most cases, you have the right to a trial by jury (but not all), but you can choose to have the case seen by a judge rather than a jury.
No, but if either party requests one they have to have a jury....plus depends on which court - in small claims court there is no jury.
No. Some are bench trials by statute. Depends on the state and the law. For example, dependency cases in Florida are tried in civil court (dependency) and are bench trials.
