Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9015 — Jury Trial is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

(a) In General. In a bankruptcy case or proceeding, Fed. R. Civ. P. 38–39, 47–49, 51, and 81(c) (insofar as it applies to jury trials) apply. But a demand for a jury trial under Fed. R. Civ. P. 38(b) must be filed in accordance with Rule 5005. (b) Jury Trial Before a Bankruptcy Judge. The parties may—jointly or separately—file a statement consenting to a jury trial conducted by a bankruptcy judge under 28 U.S.C. § 157(e) if: (1) the right to a jury trial applies; (2) a timely demand has been filed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 38(b); (3) the bankruptcy judge has been specially designated to conduct the jury trial; and (4) the statement is filed within any time specified by local rule. (c) Judgment as a Matter of Law; Motion for a New Trial. Fed. R. Civ. P. 50 applies in a bankruptcy case or proceeding—except that a renewed motion for judgment, or a request for a new trial, must be filed within 14 days after the judgment is entered.
