No Jury Trial in ERISA Claims for Benefit Case
Health Plan Law 
[Guidance Overview] Nov. 3, 2008
Excerpt: Most readers are aware that the federal courts long ago settled that ERISA 29 U.S.C. § 1132(a)(1)(B) claims for benefits were equitable in nature. 'Equitable' is a word that bears more than its share of freight in legal matters. In this instance, the word is shorthand for centuries of legal history that culminates in the practical conclusion that the plaintiff gets no jury trial.
