SEC v Jarkesy (Seventh Amendment)
603 U.S. 109 (2024)
Key Principle
When the SEC seeks civil penalties against a defendant for securities fraud, the Seventh Amendment entitles the defendant to a jury trial, so the agency must pursue the claim in an Article III court rather than through its in-house administrative adjudication.
