Bench trial
Bench trials are usually faster than jury trials because the court has to do fewer things. For example, there is no jury selection and no need to send the jury to live separately or give them special instructions.  For example, if lawyers in a jury trial disagree about whether one piece of evidence should be shown to the jury, they must call for a sidebar and talk to the judge about it privately.  In a bench trial, they do not have to keep anything secret from a jury.  The judge can also make the trial start and stop when they want.  The judge may decide to let the lawyers skip opening and closing statements.
