§ 1907.29.
(A) A jury trial shall be demanded in the manner prescribed in the Rules of Civil Procedure
or the Rules of Criminal Procedure. The number of persons composing a jury and the verdicts of jurors shall be governed
by those rules. (B) The right of a person to a jury trial is waived under the circumstances prescribed
in the Rules of Civil Procedure or the Rules of Criminal Procedure. (C) If, as a result of challenges or other causes, a jury panel is not full, the deputy
sheriff or constable who is in attendance at a trial before a county court may fill
the panel in the same manner as the sheriff fills a panel in the court of common pleas. (D) The judge of the county court involved in a case shall administer an oath to the
jury to try the matters in difference between the parties that are to be determined
by the jury, and to give a verdict in accordance with the evidence. (E) After the jurors are sworn in a case before a county court, they shall sit together
and hear the proofs and allegations of the parties. After the hearing, the jury shall be kept together in a convenient place until they
have agreed upon their verdict or have been discharged by the county court judge involved
in the case. (F) If an action being tried to a jury in a county court is continued, the jurors shall
attend at the time and place appointed for trial without further notice. (G) The judge of a county court involved in a case may punish as for contempt any juror
who neglects or refuses to attend when properly summoned or who, although in attendance,
refuses to serve. (H) If, in a civil action before a county court, the judge is satisfied that the number
of jurors required by Civil Rule 48 for concurrence purposes cannot concur in a verdict, and the jury has deliberated
upon the verdict for a reasonable time, the judge may discharge the jury and continue
the action. If either party requests a new jury, the judge shall cause the selection of another
jury. If the action is continued, it shall be continued to a time that the judge considers
reasonable unless the parties or their attorneys agree on a longer or shorter time.
