Atlas Roofing Company, Inc. v. Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, 430 U.S. 442 (1977), was a United States Supreme Court decision in administrative law. The decision held that the Seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution did not require a jury trial to enforce civil violations of a federal "public rights" statute,[1] and that such violations could instead be enforced by a Congressionally created administrative agency.[2]
