Sarsvatkumar Patel v. Long Island University

This case implicates unprecedented stakes in constitutional protections under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Seventh Amendment’s guarantee of a jury tidal rights that Supreme Court has consistently upheld. Moreover, the lower courts have reached conflicting conclusions. In the public interest, the petitioner respectfully urges the Court to set clear standards ensuring fairness, and federal uniformity.

1. In a Title VII and FMLA discrimination and retaliation case, does denying a jury trial to a plaintiff who knowingly and voluntarily chose trial over settlement violate the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause and the Seventh Amendment guarantee of a trial by jury?

2. Does Supreme Court’s review remain necessary to resolve deep and significant circuit splits regarding the proper standards for enforcing settlements, where lower courts have inconsistently enforced alleged agreements without mutual assent, a written contract, material terms, review, execution, or revocation—contradicting contract law, due process, Supreme Court precedents, and federal uniformity? n
