Jarkesy and the Right to a Jury Trial — Chief Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod (5th Cir.)

Does the Constitution guarantee a right to a jury trial when the government seeks civil penalties through administrative enforcement proceedings? Join the Federalist Society and the Texas Club for a conversation with Chief Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit about the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in SEC v. Jarkesy and its implications for the Seventh Amendment, administrative adjudication, and the separation of powers. Drawing on the historical foundations of the civil jury right, the discussion will explore the constitutional limits on agency power, the role of Article III courts, and what Jarkesy means for the future of the administrative state.
