A jury can issue punitive damages in a Federal Civil trial. It can be reduced by the Judge presiding over the case, but they can do it. They are typically reserved for cases involving intentional harm, fraud, malice, or reckless/callous disregard for the plaintiff's rights. If the federal lawsuit combines a federal securities violation with a common-law claim (like common-law fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, or gross negligence), a jury may award punitive damages. This is done via pendent jurisdiction—where a federal court applies state law to the claims.
