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 by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

Comment: The Seventh Amendment, which does not apply to the states, guarantees the right to a jury in some types of federal civil (noncriminal) trials.

This means that in a civil trial (where one side sues another 20 dollars or more), the people accused, as well as the accusers, have a right to demand a trial by jury.

ADDED: The Seventh Amendment extends the right to a jury trial to federal civil cases such as car accidents, disputes between corporations for breach of contract, or most discrimination or employment disputes. In civil cases, the person bringing the lawsuit (the plaintiff) seeks money damages or a court order preventing the person being sued (the defendant) from engaging in certain conduct. To win, the plaintiff must prove his or her case by "a preponderance of the evidence," that is by over fifty percent of the proof.

The seventh amendment in the Constitution of the United States states that in certain civil cases a person has the right to trial by jury, and that the court cannot over turn the findings of said jury. The seventh amendment is apart of The Bill of Rights and was introduced in 1789 by James Madison. It later went onto be revised and ultimately passed.
