Ian Roffman, chair of Nutter’s Securities Enforcement and Litigation practice group and a member of the firm’s Executive Committee, weighed in on the Supreme Court’s ruling in Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy and how it may affect the right to a jury trial in Massachusetts in Law360. In the article, “Mass. Could Be New Front In The Battle Over Jury Trial Right,” Ian said, “At the state level, the Massachusetts state courts have been fairly deferential to state administrative agencies. While we have a very strong fundamental belief in the jury system rooted in our state constitution, we also have, I think, a tradition that has been supportive of the work of state agencies for the most part." He noted that "It will be interesting to see how this potential intersection of competing values plays out in our state courts."
