Your Right to a Trial by Jury

The Richard Law Firm was created to help people secure justice using our legal system.

Your right to a trial by jury is one your most important rights. It protects you from wrongs committed by others, such as negligence and maliciousness that have caused you undue suffering.  It protects you against big corporations and insurance companies.

In federal civil cases, the right to a jury trial is governed by the Seventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

  • In Suits at Common Law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried to a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the Common Law.

In civil cases in state court, the right to a jury trial is governed by the state’s constitution and statutes.

The Richard Law Firm is committed to helping you secure justice in a court of law, using your right to a jury trial . We believe in our legal system and work passionately to help you secure your rights.
