Pattern Jury Instructions

By John Day

Tennessee has pattern jury instructions for civil and criminal cases, but our federal judicial circuit only has pattern instructions for criminal cases.

Here is a list of the federal circuits that have pattern jury instructions in civil and criminal cases, as well as a link to those instructions.

The Tennessee civil  instructions are for sale for an outrageous price - $283.  If you need to purchase them, go here.    If you need financial assistance to buy this book (which is updated every year with the publication of a new book, not a pocket part that can be inserted into the back of the old one)  learn more here.

And, by the way and despite the representation in the Thomson Reuters ad, the book is sold in soft cover.
