Judge Lipman has developed two jury instruction "shells" (one for civil cases and one for criminal cases), which include the basic instructions from the applicable pattern instruction sources. Please use the appropriate shell as the starting point for your requested instructions, adding the instructions you request for your specific case. To the extent you want to change the shell, please use "track changes" to show the court your request. Please consult with opposing counsel to determine if you can agree on the requested instructions.
