The Jury Trial Right in Discrimination Cases

Source: Law & Liberty
by Adam J Macleod

“The scenario always plays out the same. The service provider happily serves all people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity. But a customer or employee demands that the service provider use his preferred pronouns or affirm that his same-sex relationship has the nature of a marriage, an act that would make the service provider complicit in what she understands to be a morally significant falsehood. There ensues the unvarying accusation: Discrimination! The resulting conflict is often waged in a so-called ‘civil rights’ or ‘non-discrimination’ commission. … In our law, such claims have always been tried by a jury. But these commissions do not use juries; the commissioners make their own findings and determinations. Indeed, commissioners often serve as investigators, prosecutors, judges, and juries.” (11/04/24)
