Hoo, boy. The
right to trial by jury in suits at
common law. Don't count on them to protect this one. Yes,
Matilda, you have a right to a trial by jury, but if you don't demand it you'll be assumed to have
waived it. (See
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 38(d).) Also, this one doesn't apply to the states (it's not a
fundamental freedom), and most states don't provide for it. Too bad!
