(a) In the circuit court the amount of compensation and any additional issue for which the right to trial by jury is secured by the Constitution shall be determined by a jury only if a party entitled to participate in the trial of the issue expressly demands trial by jury. The circuit court shall determine all other issues without a jury.
(b) The number of jurors, method used for impanelling and selecting jurors, number and method for exercising challenges, form of oath to be administered, number of jurors required to return a verdict, and all other procedures relating to trial by jury, to the extent practicable, shall conform to the requirements applicable in civil actions under the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure.
