Question presented
The American judicial system is a “party-presentation system” in which courts are to decide only the claims and defenses raised by the parties. United States v. Sineneng-Smith, 590 U.S. 371, 375-376 (2020). The Question Presented is: Whether a court violates the party-presentation principle, due process, and the Seventh Amendment by granting dispositive relief based on a non-jurisdictional legal theory never raised by the parties.
