12. Is the homeowner entitled to a jury trial?
A homeowner from State A sued a man from State B in a federal district court in State B.

The man argued to the court that the homeowner is not entitled to a jury.

A is incorrect. While it is true that the Seventh Amendment's jury guarantee generally is available where a plaintiff seeks both legal and equitable remedies, the plaintiff here seeks an exclusively equitable remedy, which is not a suit entitled to a jury under federal law.
B is incorrect. The Seventh Amendment guarantees a jury for suits at common law, and specific performance is a remedy in equity.
D is incorrect. The Seventh Amendment's application does not depend on the basis of the court's subject-matter jurisdiction.
