Model Jury Instructions

The Massachusetts Court System's jury instructions are written statements that explain the jury's role and laws that apply to the specific case.

Jury instructions give jurors a framework to help them understand how the law applies to the evidence they've heard during trial so they can use it to reach a verdict.
