JURY TRIALS:

While Section 5, Article I of the Ohio Constitution sets forth the basic constitutional right to a trial by jury, it is well-settled that the General Assembly may expand upon that right through the enactment of a statute.

There is neither a constitutional right nor a statutory right to have factual issues decided by a jury in an action instituted by the state for the enforcement of laws relating to the operation of a solid waste disposal facility under R.C. Chapter 3734 and the control of water pollution pursuant to R.C. Chapter 6111.
