How do I request a Jury for a misdemeanor in the state of California?

Question

How do I request a Jury for a misdemeanor in the state of California?



Answer

You enter a not guilty plea and set it for trial. You do have the right to waive a jury trial and just have a judge hear the case. Don't.

But ... Your lawyer should be explaining this to you. You do have a lawyer, don't you? Please tell me you're not representing yourself when you could end up in jail.
