(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.
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.
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.
Preliminary instructions occur at the beginning of a trial and typically inform the jury on the basics of reviewing evidence and other responsibilities. During the trial, courts may give limiting instructions that inform jurors how to evaluate specific evidence and curative instructions to correct evidentiary errors.
FREE WEBSITES provide links to jury instructions: Court websites may include model or pattern instructions. Search for a specific jurisdiction using a search engine such as Google. COMMERCIAL DATABASES are available by subscription and may provide model jury instructions.

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.
Jurors must be 21 years of age and able to read and write. A juror cannot be a convicted felon, habitual drunkard or common gambler. Additionally, no one who has been convicted of the illegal sale of alcoholic beverages in the previous five years can be a juror.
