Jury Trials and Securities Fraud: A Legal Dissection
This chapter analyzes a Supreme Court decision on the Seventh Amendment's right to a jury trial in civil cases, focusing on Congress-created legal claims like securities fraud. It contrasts historical interpretations of fraud with modern legal complexities and discusses the implications of the ruling on the balance of power among Congress, the courts, and regulatory agencies. The chapter also critiques judicial impartiality and highlights systemic inequities in the enforcement of white-collar crime.
