Ing to the Supreme Court, the jury-trial right applies only when "serious" offenses are at hand—petty offenses don't invoke it. For purposes of this right, a serious offense is one that carries a potential sentence of more than six months' imprisonment.
In addition to juror fees, mileage reimbursements, and assorted juror amenities, jury trials typically involve a much larger assembly of court staff, lawyers, and witnesses than is needed in other court proceedings.
