7. Might depend on jurisdiction...

....but I don't think that you have the option to go for a panel of judges in most places. You either request a jury of 12 citizens, of a bench trial with one judge. Conventional wisdom is that you're always better off with a jury trial and the combined judgement of twelve individuals. Guess it would depend on the circumstances and the particular case.
