Does a state have a right to a jury trial of legal issues in an antitrust action in federal court?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Standard Oil Co. of California v. Arizona, 738 F.2d 1021 (9th Cir. 1984):

The sole question presented on this appeal is whether states have the right to a jury trial of legal issues in antitrust actions in federal court. To answer this question, we must determine whether states have the right to a jury trial under federal statute or the Seventh Amendment. See Lehman v. Nakshian, 453 U.S. 156, 165 n. 13, 101 S.Ct. 2698, 2704 n. 13, 69 L.Ed.2d 548 (1981) (there is no general right to jury trial in federal courts; the right must derive from statute or the Seventh Amendment).
