In a criminal case, the burden of proof must be beyond a reasonable doubt. In civil cases, the burden of proof is by a preponderance of the evidence. The judge will explain what these terms mean for a given case in the jury instructions.
Jury instructions are given to the jury by the judge, who usually reads them aloud to the jury. The judge issues a judges charge to inform the jury how to act in deciding a case.
When a party has the burden of proving any claim [or affirmative defense] by a preponderance of the evidence, it means you must be persuaded by the evidence that the claim [or affirmative defense] is more probably true than not true.
Jury instructions should ideally be brief, concise, non-repetitive, relevant to the cases details, understandable to the average juror , and should correctly state the law without misleading the jury or inviting unnecessary speculation.
Model, standard, and pattern instructions are not binding, so a trial court may modify them as necessary to fit the circumstances of the case. A court will often reject parties proposed jury instructions if there are model instructions available on the topic, in an effort to avoid bias or manipulation.
