(B) Special jury instructions, meaning instructions from other sources, those specially prepared by the party, or approved instructions that have been substantially modified by the party.
Jury instructions tell the jury what the laws are that govern a particular case. Each attorney gives the judge a set of proposed jury instructions. The judge considers each instruction and gives the one that properly states the law that applies to the case.
In proposing jury instructions, the parties have an opportunity to persuade the trial court to present their view of the law or theory of the case. In this respect, crafting and proposing instructions requires a deep under- standing of the governing law, as much so as argu- ing a summary judgment or post-trial motion.
The judge reads the instructions to the jury. This is commonly referred to as the judges charge to the jury. In giving the instructions, the judge will state the issues in the case and define any terms or words that may not be familiar to the jurors.
(1) Members of the jury, now it is time for me to instruct you about the law you must follow in deciding this case. (2) I will start by explaining your duties and the general rules that apply in every criminal case. (3) Then I will explain the elements of the crimes that the defendant is accused of committing.

For jury instructions to be effective, they must be clear and simple. Sentences should be short; instruc- tions should contain no more than a few sentences, cover only one topic, and be directly related to the circumstances of the case (they should not be abstract statements of the law).
The judge issues a judges charge to inform the jury how to act in deciding a case. The jury instructions provide something of a flowchart on what verdict jurors should deliver based on what they determine to be true. Put another way, If you believe A (set of facts), you must find X (verdict).
The courts duty to give correct jury instructions in a civil action is shaped by at least four factors. The factor most directly implied by a plain error rule is the obviousness of the mistake. The importance of the error is a second major factor.
