Overview
Before juries begin their deliberations the judge instructs them on the applicable law. Often attorneys have the opportunity to submit proposed instructions to the judge in advance, tailoring these instructions to the pleadings and evidence in the particular case. It is at the judge's discretion whether to use, adapt, or dismiss these instructions. They are often very important to the outcome of the jury’s deliberations. You will often find jury instructions referred to as pattern or non-pattern jury instructions. Sometimes jury instructions are specifically endorsed by the courts.
Jury verdicts are mostly aimed at tort & personal injury lawsuits. They provide detailed profiles of litigants, accidents, injuries. They are used for guidance in requesting damages. They are usually expensive and none are comprehensive. Generally, there is not a lot of overlap in the various services.
