1. The First Amendment's protection of the right to petition for redress of grievances

has been interpreted as including the right to resort to the court system for relief.

4. I was thinking about this the other day...

Way back in a faded memory, I don’t even know where I heard it, I seem to recall the reason that is in the 1A is because they had originally intended to have two “supreme” courts. One, more like today’s SCOTUS in charter and the second for civil actions.

Ultimately it was decided to have only one Supreme Court. It didn’t make sense to call it supreme if there was more than one and they were anticipating jurisdiction problems.

Anyway, a couple hundred years later and we’re learning maybe that wasn’t such a good idea. Especially since the structure and checks on our single court and it’s justices is so ill defined.

2. The right to petition the government for redress of grievances

includes a right to file suit in a court of law. The U.S. Supreme Court has collapsed or folded in the distinct right to petition with other protections for group speech.

The Seventh Amendment (Amendment VII) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. This amendment codifies the right to a jury trial in certain civil cases and inhibits courts from overturning a jury's findings of fact.

5. I have always wondered how

so many jury awards and convictions get over turned. I’m told it has something to do with Common Law.

6. Likely more like the law of the case, and facts therein.

The Seventh Amendment generally addresses suits at common law, but your question is really vague.

Incidentally, it’s “legal.”
