Commonly Asked Questions about Federal Law Jury Instructions

A party who objects to an instruction or the failure to give an instruction must do so on the record, stating distinctly the matter objected to and the grounds for the objection.
A party must persuade you, by the evidence presented in court, that what he or she is required to prove is more likely to be true than not true. This is referred to as the burden of proof.
An objection is timely when the objection was raised by the party claiming error at a time when it is apparent the purported error occurred, or at the time of a ruling or instruction or at any subsequent time when the court had an opportunity of effectively changing a ruling or instruction.
Any party may request in writing that the court instruct the jury on the law as specified in the request. The request must be made at the close of the evidence or at any earlier time that the court reasonably sets. When the request is made, the requesting party must furnish a copy to every other party.
While, in some circumstances, a party may cure its lack of objection at trial through a post-trial motion, that generally is not the case with jury instructions. The specific objection must be made at trial before the instructions are read to the jury; a general objection will not suffice.
Either before or after the closing arguments by the lawyers, the judge will explain the law that applies to the case to you. This is the judges instruction to the jury. You have to apply that law to the facts, as you have heard them, in arriving at your verdict.
In its current form, Rule 30 requires that the court instruct the jury after the arguments of counsel. In some districts, usually where the state practice is otherwise, the parties prefer to stipulate to instruction before closing arguments.
The right of trial by jury as declared by the Seventh Amendment to the Constitution or as given by a statute of the United States shall be preserved to the parties inviolate. (2) filing the demand as required by Rule 5(d). Such demand may be indorsed upon a pleading of the party.
