Is there any court cases dealing with the seventh amendment on the internet?

I need it for a social studies project and i can't find anything that isn't 10 pages long.Is there any court cases dealing with the seventh amendment on the internet?
This is a seminal Supreme Court case that describes what kind of issues can be reviewed by a jury, and what can only be decided by a judge. Written by Souter. Basically, the 7th Amendment says that the right to a jury shall be ';preserved,'; not guaranteed. This means that a jury is only guaranteed for the kinds of cases that were up to the jury in the 18th century. Some things, like interpretation of contract terms, can only be decided by a judge.
