Seventh Amendment

If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers in the first place. ~Lord Halifax

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 reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
