As amended through June 26, 2024
Rule 26 - Entry of Judgment

Judgment shall be entered upon the short trial jury verdict form in a jury trial or upon a decision by the short trial judge in a trial to the bench, and the judgment, including any costs or attorney fees, shall be filed with the clerk. A decision of at least three of the four jurors is necessary to render a verdict for a four-member jury, at least five of the six jurors for a six-member jury, and at least six of the eight jurors for an eight-member jury. A judgment arising out of the Short Trial Program may not exceed $50,000 per plaintiff exclusive of attorney fees, costs, and prejudgment interest, unless otherwise stipulated to by the parties. Jurors shall not be notified of this limitation. Where cases not subject to mandatory arbitration were brought into the Short Trial Program, the parties may establish a different ceiling of recovery by stipulation.
