2. The claim, in full
In 2024 the Supreme Court enforced the jury right against an agency's in-house penalties, reciting the colonial history, and two Justices likened such proceedings to the colonial vice-admiralty courts
Cited on: /sovereign-citizens. Entered 2026-10-18 by the SOVEREIGN CITIZENS block, tag NEW-SC57 (brief item AH57). THE PAGE'S OWN GRADE LINE READS: "ESTABLISHED as what the opinions say". Decided 27 June 2024, 6–3. The Syllabus is not part of the opinion. The parallel to vice-admiralty courts is drawn in a two-Justice concurrence; the majority recites the history. The case concerns agency adjudication, not Article III courts. The majority's bracketed "[common] law" replaces the 1774 resolve's words "course of that law". The dissent was read only secondhand (PROBABLE).
3. What it rests on
-
Opinion of the Court (Roberts, C.J.), slip op. 6: "This case poses a straightforward question: whether the Seventh Amendment entitles a defendant to a jury trial when the SEC seeks civil penalties against him for securities fraud." Syllabus: "When the SEC seeks civil penalties against a defendant for securities fraud, the Seventh Amendment entitles the defendant to a jury trial." [SRC-1250]
Sources: SRC-1250 -
Slip op. 7: "When the English began evading American juries by siphoning adjudications to juryless admiralty, vice admiralty, and chancery courts, Americans condemned Parliament for "subvert[ing] the rights and liberties of the colonists."" [SRC-1250]
Sources: SRC-1250 -
Gorsuch, J., concurring (joined by Thomas, J.), slip op. 5–6: "If administrative proceedings like Mr. Jarkesy's seem a thoroughly modern development, the British government and its agents engaged in a strikingly similar strategy in colonial America. Colonial administrators routinely steered enforcement actions out of local courts and into vice-admiralty tribunals where they thought they would win more often. These tribunals lacked juries." [SRC-1250]
Sources: SRC-1250 -
Same, slip op. 10: "In this way, the Seventh Amendment seeks to ensure there will be no juryless vice-admiralty courts in the United States." [SRC-1250]
