From the founding of our country, the 7th Amendment to the United States Constitution has guaranteed every American the right to have a jury decide civil disputes. Unbeknownst to most Americans, including many lawyers, that right is actively under attack by a growing number of large corporate defendants and even gaining traction in some lower courts. Stretching provisions of corporate restructuring and bankruptcy law beyond recognition, powerful interests are working to deprive injured Americans of their right to full and fair jury trials for  injuries, diseases and death resulting from exposure to defective products and other wrongful conduct. The assault on the Constitutional right to trial by jury can only be prevented through heightened public awareness and the actions of lawyers and their clients fighting back in courts across the country and in Congress.
