5th, 6th and 7th Amendments. New York State Constitution.The functions of the Administrative Coordinating Part (Part 40 TR) are to send cases out for jury selection and to refer them to an available Part for trial. It protects the right for citizens to have a jury trial in federal courts with civil cases where the claim exceeds a certain dollar value. The New York Constitution agrees, with art. The Seventh Amendment requires civil jury trials only in federal courts. This Amendment is unusual. Under the Seventh Amendment of the Constitution, defendants have a right to a jury trial in civil cases seeking monetary damages. The Court noted that the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial applies only to "suits" at common law. In civil trials, both the plaintiff and the defendant have the constitutional right to a jury trial.
