The Sixth and Seventh Amendments
<h3>What are the Sixth and Seventh Amendments?</h3>
With some limitations, the Constitution's Sixth and Seventh Amendments protect the right to a jury trial in criminal and civil cases. Criminal and civil cases each have a different rights to a jury trial.
<h3>What does the civil jury trial right entail?</h3>
The right to a jury trial is not something that the 7th Amendment ensures in every case. The right to a jury trial in civil proceedings is based on the amount at issue between the parties. States may have courts with special jurisdictions that don't allow jury trials and set a cap on the amount in dispute. However, either party may choose to file the action in a superior court with wide jurisdiction, where a jury trial is an option, if the parties choose a jury trial. In this manner, the right of each party to a jury trial remains unrestricted. In the event of a disagreement, parties may also agree in a contract to waive their right to a jury trial.
<h3>What does the right to a jury trial in criminal cases entail?</h3>
All prosecutions are granted the right to a jury trial under the 6th Amendment. A jury trial must be available in criminal matters when a party faces the possibility of incarceration, according to the Due Process clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. A jury trial is frequently not permitted in cases involving very minor criminal offenses that just carry fines and no risk of imprisonment. A speeding ticket, for instance, might not grant a party the right to a jury trial.
